So Long, Charlie Brown

This really pisses me off. Meanwhile, the Journal's two comics pages are filled with far less worthy comic strips. As far as comics are concerned, 'Peanuts' is irreplaceable and timeless. Too bad that young, new readers of the newspaper will miss out on Schulz's insight and wisdom that the rest of us were delivered on a daily basis for over a half century... until today.

From yesterday's WSJ:

Starting Monday, readers of the Winston-Salem Journal comics pages will see two new strips. But there's a trade-off, and that means three strips will be going away. One is Spot the Frog, a daily strip recently added to our comics pages. We feel it isn't working well and that there are better alternatives. Another is Beakman & Jax, a Sunday-only educational strip that is one of the lowest-rated strips in our comics surveys.

But the third... ooh, boy. We may as well come out and say it.

The third is Peanuts.
