Peanuts is full of introspection and despair. Just check out how sad things are with 3eanuts.

Sometimes, I lie awake at night trying to remember the difference between insomnia and amnesia.

I read the peanuts, and always feel little better that I am at least as not as depressed as these children.

Hahaha I can't relate to that at all. The trick is chronic short term memory loss induced by alcoholism.

...and then the ulcer sets in and I lay in bed folded up in the fetal position crying. The hot coals in my gut...they despise me. They loathe me. I fear them.

Reddit, it's time for another mature discussion about the state of this site.

Downvote me to oblivion Reddit, but this exact same picture just hit the front page no more than two weeks ago, titled "This is the darkest Charlie Brown comic I've ever read" or something.

Reddit is now ultimately Digg.

I realize that karma is worthless and that Reddit loves it's reposts, but every time the same image hits the front page within just a few short weeks, this website goes one step further from "news before it happens" and "the voice of the Internet", and into a circle jerking, worthless-celebrity loving website.

"Why don't you just leave then?" you say. Because there are still some mature Redditors who enjoy talking about fresh subjects, who ask about real world problems, who need Reddit to see their achievements because they have no one else.

This is why I stay. Every time I see IRC, Doug, PHOY, or some other "big name" reposter, it just makes me sick that I seem to be the only one who cares about the state of Reddit.

So upvote the reposts, bury those who call you out on it, make Reddit one step closer to Digg, Fark, hell, even FunnyJunk or ICHaz, and watch as this once great nation of a website burns to the ground, fueled by it's own denial.

Charles Schultz was a master at using simple drawings to perfectly capture despair. There are several strips where Charlie Brown looks physically ill thinking about his own life.

It's well known that Charles Schulz was chronically depressed. Alot of these feelings leaked out into Peanuts and specifically Charlie Brown's character. If you take a deeper look into Peanuts its truly fascinating to see how downright nihilistic the ideas and concepts could be. It's alot of the reasons Peanuts was so successful and long running because Schulz really poured alot of himself into the comic.

Ironically, its one of the most beloved comics of all times and brings joy to millions of children all around the world, all because Schulz let his negativity and sense of futility flow freely through the characters.
