Losers Of The Week
USA Today readers; I have no idea what anyone would read there at the point they get rid of their writers.
Quote Of The Week
"It was the Peanuts collections in my grandfather's basement office that really stayed with me through childhood and into college. Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, and Lucy all felt like real people to me. I even felt so sorry for Charlie Brown at one point that I wrote him a valentine and sent it to the newspaper, hoping he'd get it. I've said it many times before, but Charles Schulz is the only writer I've continually been reading since I was a kid. And I know I'm not alone. He touched millions of people and introduced empathy to comics, an important step in their transition from a mass medium to an artistic and literary one." --
