VICTORY!
My five year long fight with The Bakersfield Californian has emerged in a total and one-sided victory for me. Bowing to OVERWHELMING support from the community, they have to retract their greatest insult.
Classic Peanuts returns to their comics pages.
Having a couple of their represenatives brush me off when I asked why they would not run the reruns, and having one bluntly and rudely say: “Schulz is dead, get over it.” and still expect me to get a subscription I feel that this is a victory for anyone who followed the beloved characters.
It would have been ok if they had bowed out gracefully, a tribute, but coming on the heels of their deletion of Trudeau’s Doonesbury for it’s anti-war stance, they made little bones it was about money… even though I apparently wasn’t the only one reading the paper for Snoopy and gang.
To that representative who said that Schulz was dead, bullshit. He’s still alive. The proof will be in the damned paper you used to work, 1 December.
VICTORY!

Whoo!
…I wonder if I could make money selling a paper that was nothing but comics…?
Woo hoo!
@Alan_Nominus - If you just had look at Comics.com it sure makes a good case for multiple pages.
Here they took a vote in regards to the Peanuts staying in the Sac Bee.
It got overwhelming approval
