What's cool lasts
The "Peanuts" comic strip showed kids in all their geekiness, anger, joy and rage, their weird fantasies (in this case projected onto the dog), their insularity from adults. As a kid I totally identified with Charlie Brown, and I was thrilled that there was an adult out there, somewhere, who didn't have to pretend that life was perfect for kids, who understood that childhood was sometimes simply miserable.
Don't forget to check out the immortal mash-up of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" with Outkast's "Hey Ya!"
