Subject: A note to Steve H.

Steve, I was truly impressed with the comics board and the caliber of the lively discussions it has going on. There are so many artists and thinkers over there discussing this very cutting edge artform. I envy you your vocation. Cartoons have so much freedom as an artform and are yet so technically demanding. Unfortunately, I just don't have time for comic books. I always read the Sunday comics and have never quite understood a few things about the L.A. Times. Maybe you can help:

1. Why is Peanuts still syndicated and carried? Is Schulz's work considered timeless? Is Schulz really considered the best cartoonist of all times? Peanuts is still front page, first comic in the Sunday LA Times. Doonesbury is the other front page comic.

2. What is Mary Worth all about? It is so boring and yet has been around forever. Who is its audience? What is its purpose?

3. I think the artwork in Blondie (& Dagwood) is fabulous! Did the drawing we see in Blondie break ground when it first came out? The motion in Blondie is so easeful and elegant.

4. What happened to Calvin & Hobbes? Did the creator die?
I thought C&H was amazing.
