PITY THE APRIL FOOL: Kids dressed like Mr T<\/a><\/p>\n

So hey – it’s my birthday tomorrow. Give me a birthday gift of an interesting link to an essay, video, picture, whatever. Pop it in the comments, and I’ll open them tomorrow! Hurrah!<\/em><\/p>\n

This one’s been all over. From its origins until the late 80s, Schulz’s strip Peanuts<\/em> used a four-panel format. (It then changed to three panels with more formal experimentation.) 3eanuts<\/a> takes those strips and removes the fourth panel. The rhythm still works because 3-panel strips are more common these days, but without Schulz’s bitter\/redemptive final panel gags the tone is… well. Lets just say it’s one more sign that Peanuts<\/em> was a really really weird strip to be globally famous. It’s not exactly Garfield<\/em>.<\/p>\n
