krpalmer: Charlie Brown and Patty in the rain; Charlie Brown wears a fedora and trench coat (charlie brown)
I'd heard how the syndication and other rights for Peanuts had been passed from one company to another, but the first time it actually mattered to me was when I navigated to the comics site I check the strips from 1964 on and saw they were no longer available there. A bit of checking around, though, turned it up on another comics site I regularly visit. The difference, though, is that they're not being printed as large, and the "doubly disposable" panel is missing from the Sunday pages. Something about that does make me wonder about my long-running habit of saving every comic. Now that I have volumes of The Complete Peanuts, that wouldn't seem to matter, but once a habit gets started... I suppose I'll just have to see if I prefer the commentators more on this new site, or if they'll indulge in too many suggestions about what year to stop reading the strip.
