It will always remain one of my favorite strips. Watterson had such a way of getting across a message through a funny comic strip.

And the real beauty is that, like Peanuts, they're timeless -- they're as funny and penetrating now as they were when first published.

Compare and contrast to, e.g., Bloom County, which was great for its time, but didn't age well at all.

True! I was a serious Bloom County fan, but now it provides little more than some '80s nostalgia. Worst of all, though, is the way Berke Breathed went and jumped the shark--he can't do funny to save his life today.
