>>147136657More abysmal Rerun strips, no doubt. Schulz was fucking obsessed with that little twerp in his final years.
>>147136711iirc that was because Rerun was one of the few characters Schulz could write for without giving them the personality of a depressed 70 year old man
>>1471366579/11 might've broken him.>>147136711His wife speculated that having grandkids changed his stance on Rerun, and he started using him everywhere.>>147136754Yeah, I think that tracks.
>>147136774>9/11 might've broken him.This honestly, he was clearly in a less than happy mental state towards the end and the even combined with the immediate mass paranoia that occurred afterwards would probably have sent him spiraling. At least he died feeling like the world was in a relatively good state.
>>147136754Yeah, he wrote him as a second Snoopy that could actually talk back to the others instead.
>>147136774Would 9/11 really have been more taxing on his mind than living through the Cold War?
