You may recall that on Easter Sunday I made reference to Charles Schulz’s comic strip PEANUTS. The fact that I have to identify it as “Charles Schulz’s comic strip PEANUTS” just shows you how much things have changed. In the circles where I grew up, you could quote “PEANUTS” with no more introduction than you if you’d said, “SHAKESPEARE” or “THE BEATLES.”

Anyway, in one strip, Linus runs up to Charlie Brown and says, "Charlie Brown, I just saw the most unbelievable football game... What a comeback The quarterback threw a perfect pass to the left end, who ran all the way for a touchdown The fans went wild Thousands of people ran onto the field laughing and screaming They were so happy they were rolling on the ground and hugging each other It was fantastic”

And Charlie Brown – Good Ol’ Charlie Brown – says, “How did the other team feel?”
