Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 25, 2023

She blasts them, but then signs off with “love, Sally Brown”.

These days, that list would be so long…

before the internet there was Mr Zip!

From Sally, with Love.

All were signed “Love”. Is that a mixed message?

Sally thats blasting, alright. They are hired for the criticism, dear.

Sally was ahead of her time.

This may be a criticism from an old timer, but I wonder if young school kids these days who don’t learn cursive writing any longer can still read that?

As a former movie reviewer, this does happen. But only rarely.

Love letters?

Sally would love social media

Sally, the critic critic.

If only she had a youtube channel. On second thought, maybe it’s for the best.

At that time, there were lots of good movies, TV shows, and books.

I would like for you to blast Disney and rant about their evil business practices. I also want you to blast Discovery for cancelling every animated Warner Bros project.

I wonder what legendary former Newsday TV critic Marvin Kitman would think of Sally if she ever wrote to him?

Who knew that Sally was my ex-girlfriend as a child? Say a lot of critical things and I love you.

Dear Music Critic: What is the trouble with the top 40 nowadays?

However, I do not find your newspaper totally useless. Mixed in with kitchen waste and dog manure, it gives the perfect consistency to my compost heap.

I just love that the Peanuts gang write in cursive.

Sally would need a whole notebook just for the cocainestream media

I was going to say how far ahead of its time this was but there was always criticism, it just wasn’t publicized world wide.

There’s not enough paper in the world to give Sally that kind of a list, let alone compose those blastings.

Now we have twitter.

I’ve always found movie critics very helpful. If they liked it, I hated it. If they hated it, I liked it.

Sally’s on a roll.

In our younger days we avoided all movies that the Kansas City Star critic liked.

dearest MSM especially cable/internet newsfeeds please convert ALL your shows to elevator music. the upside would be the end of 80% of misinformation, 80% of divisive rhetoric, 80% of hatred in the world, and we could search things we like/need 80% faster. and my percentages are based on the same facts/sources you always base your crap percentages on. js

I actually did something like this one year.

I fear what happened when people like Sally joined ‘social media’.

Looks like the critics were terrible back in the 70’s too. Good critic review = terrible movie/show/book and vice versa.

Sally is the internet.

“Dear frozen yogurt,

You are pointless. Be ice cream, or be nothing.

Signed, Ron Swanson."

comic strip critics

So highbrow they lost touch with the people. But it’s only a problem when the PR and CEOs listen to them.

I have a crush on Debra Norval.

With all the blasting going on, it’s no wonder I’m deaf

It’s 3 to 1 against you Sally. It might be YOU.

This reminds me of the one where Sally is writing a letter to the editor & asks her big brother how to spell “incompoop” and “ucklehead.” Then he looks at what she’s written:

Dear Sir:

You are an incompoop. You are also an ucklehead.

I still adhere to Roger Ebert’s take on criticism. Critics should give you enough information for you to be able to tell if you might like something, and not harp on whether they like it or not.

Lead reporter at CNN.

She would have thrived in the modern internet age.

How about the Woke msm?

LOL! :)

Pretty much everyone….

Yeah, GoComics, please Sally…

Sally left off the Weather people. People hate their dismal forecasts. I know, don’t kill the messenger. Yada Yada! ;-p

Sally tried to warn us.

Sally’s blasts are nicely to the point.

Sally would have loved Twitter.

You WROTE, “Can’t you read?”?!
