RIP: Mira Furlan and Hank Aaron
Jan. 22nd, 2021 12:10 pmI only saw Mrs. Furlan in person once, at San Diego, just as Babylon 5 was getting going. And that, from across a standing-room only hall. Her work on-screen was nonetheless stellar, in the best sense, in the role of Delenn.
I never got to see Mr. Aaron, but I read the Peanuts strip with Snoopy standing in for Mr. Aaron, taking his own share of hate mail as a fictional beagle on his own quest to break Babe Ruth's record, and later learned the fuller story. Mr. Schulz was clearly a fan of Mr. Aaron, from what I saw in print.
Two people worthy of respect. Now both gone.

COMICS: On this day in 1950...

A Charlie Brown-ish Note

A first on Dreamwidth?
Jan. 2nd, 2017 08:09 amIt seems that I am the first Dreamwidth user to admit to being interested in the works of Charles Schulz in the Interests section of their profile page.
I can't be the only user who's enjoyed his work, surely?

Schulzian Anniversaries
Oct. 2nd, 2016 08:52 amReminders went out that today is the anniversary of the first published strip in Charles Schulz' comic strip Peanuts.
I find myself in want of a root beer right now.
(Also, wishing I could've thanked Mr. Schulz directly for his works.)
More on other topics as the day progresses, hopefully...

Doctor Snoopy
Jun. 20th, 2014 08:24 pmAs I say to Mr. Hines directly in the original post's comments: I would object to specifying Snoopy as an incarnation of the Doctor. Otherwise, the theory as presented is entertainingly sound.
For your amusement, then...

I decided to go with a lighter blog post for today. Feel free to debate and discuss.
#
Proposal: Snoopy is actually a Time Lord. Probably the Doctor.
Evidence:
- Snoopy was first sighted on Earth in October of 1950, and was around for far longer than any known beagle. Also, his appearance changed over time. (But he’s always been a white male!)
- His dog house is canonically bigger on the inside.
- And it flies. (Though it doesn’t always take him where he intended to go.)
- He is known to have traveled in space.
- He has a companion, one he understands and communicates with despite their different languages. (TARDIS translation circuit?)
- He owned a Van Gogh. (The link between Van Gogh and the Doctor has been well-established.)
- He’s been known to wear bow ties.
Conclusion: Time Lord!

Mar. 18th, 2014 08:00 pmBecause there's this other thing that's been announced today...and I'm not sure what I make of it.

Today's Sinfest Instalment
Jul. 5th, 2012 08:08 amIt seems inevitable, and yet still somehow cruel. And I'm not sure who's aiming the cruelty at whom in this instance.
Happy Schulz Day!
Nov. 26th, 2011 10:40 amI've been reminded that today in 1922 was the date of Charles "Sparky" Schulz' birth.
Whatever the security blanket of your choosing, I wish you well.

Getting Used to It
Dec. 18th, 2010 09:03 pmJohn Gushue found a bit of Charles Schulz' wisdom recently. Go have a look.
Not sure that I've mastered that secret yet myself.

We lost the Voice of Snoopy.
Early details here.
I expect a more detailed obit to appear in several locations across the Web over the days ahead.
