“You stupid darkness!” and 29 other Peanuts quotes for everyday use
(via A.V. Club) On October 2, 1950, cartoonist Charles M. Schulz’s comic strip Peanuts debuted with two kids sitting on a curb and remarking, “Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown! Good ol’ Charlie Brown… How I hate him!” From day one, Schulz established what kind of strip Peanuts was going to be: wry, bittersweet, and oh so quotable. For the next 50 years—Schulz spun jokes and stories out of big dreams, dashed hopes, and the complex interrelationships of a group of mature, well-spoken children. A.V. Club has compiled a handy list of Peanuts punchlines and observations that encapsulate both Schulz’s wit and keen understanding of how the world works.
