Hey, Let's Run "The Yellow Kid!"

With all of the modern, edgy and funny comic strips out there, I don't see why newspapers continue to run "Peanuts."

First off, Charles M. Schultz is dead. Get over it.

Second, these publications are called "newspapers." They aren't "history lessons printed on pulp," they're supposed to print the "news". If it happened before your last deadline, it ain't news, it's history.

If people want to read "Peanuts", direct them to the nearest bookstore or the library. If you are going to run old comics, why don't you just stop paying your editorial cartoonists and run Thomas Nash's old stuff? Or better yet, run Herblock, since his cartoons of Nixon's evil deeds are timely once again.

Ditch "Peanuts."
