TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: ?Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The
minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip
away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.?
HINT: (1835-1910), American author and humorist whose keen
wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics
and peers.

RANDOM TIDBITS - PEANUTS GANG
Charles Schulz called his first comic strip Li'l Folks. It
appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press from 1947 to 1950.
Two of the Li'l Folks characters were Charlie Brown and a
dog that resembled Snoopy.
***
When United Feature Syndicate picked up Li'l Folks, the
strip's name was changed to Peanuts - much to Schulz's
dismay. It made its debut appearance on October 2, 1950,
published in seven newspapers.
***
There were only three characters in Charles M. Schulz's
first Peanuts comic strip- Charlie Brown, Shermy and Patty
(not Peppermint Patty, she'd be "born" much later.) Charlie
Brown's dog Snoopy was also part of the original gang, but
wasn't included in the first comic strip.

VIDEO CLIP
Charlie the Loser - Peanuts
Everyone loves the show and comics of Peanuts! Charlie
Brown is a lovable loser, and even though he wins a
competition, he still comes out with no worthwhile prize.
Poor Charlie Brown.

***********************************************************
As the years passed, Schulz added more colorful characters
to his Peanuts family: Schroeder- the toy piano virtuoso
and Beethoven fan was born in 1951; Lucy- Linus' crabby
sister who runs a Psychiatrist booth appeared in 1952;
Linus- the thumbsucking, blanket toter appeared the same
year; Pigpen- the boy with the constant swirl of dirt
around him was born in 1954.
***
The next addition to the Peanuts comic strip wasn't until
1959 when Sally- Charlie Brown's sister came to be. She was
followed by Peppermint Patty- the addle-brained tomboy in
1966; Woodstock- the silent yellow bird who Snoopy befriended,
in 1967; Marcie- Peppermint Pattie's best friend in 1968, and
Franklin- the first African-American character Schulz put in
Peanuts, in the same year.
***
Schulz wouldn't allow anyone else to draw his strip. He
died just hours before his last original Peanuts comic
strip was published. He had drawn nearly 18,000 of the
strips during his career.

List Price: $9.99

This little light does so much that it is impossible not

This LED is on a gooseneck attach-ment that allows you to
move it in ANY directions. It's great as a book light or
even auto repairs.
Need to do a presentation? No worries.. this little item

It has a clip that makes it easy to clip to your shirt

a magnetic surface and position the light any way you need

but there is a limit of six (6) per order.
