PEANUTS AND THE NEW GENERATION.

PEANUTS AND THE NEW GENERATION. The PEANUTS comic strip had a huge impact on my generation. I used to claim that while one could argue about different artists or writers, PEANUTS was one body of work that would survive for centuries. Consequently, I was astonished when our children, Annalisa and Nick, disliked PEANUTS. They couldn’t stand the patient suffering of Charlie Brown. Why did he put up with things? The angst which struck home in the fifties and sixties was out of place a generation later.
