B**, are you serious?
When you hate on "Peanuts" you only hate on yourself. I mean, shit if you thought Shultz was out of line, what about Trudeau, Watterson, Breathed and...god forbid I ask, McGruder?
Snoop's been kind of whored out to commercial interests far more than Scooby Do ever was but c'mon, Snoopy's the original King of Chill. Scooby's just plain neurotic.
ha..
1993-1994 I was rocking the following:
gold nugget ring
gold diamond ring
gold herringbone necklace
gold rope necklace(hollow!)
gold rope bracelet
gold stud nosering(later switched for a gold hoop)
all purchased from the local Korean jewelry dealer at the flea market.
I had almost forgotten about it until I read your post. Thanks for reminding me.

Totally serious.
I never laughed once at Snoopy and his bitch-ass crew.
You see, this fool Schulz has you all convinced that his material was "deep."
What it was was whack.
If I want to hear religious moralizing I'll go to synagogue, not read the comics.
Scooby was everything a comic should be: irreverant, fun. Plus all the cameos? Man that show was like an ill 70's time capsule. AND it was funny.
And Scooby had a lesbian too, by the way.
WTF
The letter spacing is highly suspect in that last frame.
Scooby got played out, especially after Scrappy came along. I used to love that show like no other, but even I knew the formula was as dragged-out as those Hanna-Barbera hallways. Really, though: Scrappy was always for shit. Guilt by association.
Anyone knocking Schulz probably can't stand Mr. Rogers, either. The reason: they can't stand either man's personal beliefs. Folks that only listen to people they want to hear and straw-man the rest are small-minded. Schulz was never, in my mind, a Bible thumper. Yes, there was Scripture in some of the Peanuts specials, but it was pretty general and seasonally appropriate stuff that was delivered with a fairly light touch.
I can appreciate MacGruder and Trudeau for their stances which mirror my own. I can also admire men like Schulz and Rogers because they obviously put People before the proselytizing.
This book is a killer:

Snoopy hands down is right.
I mean, "Joe Cool"???
Come on peoples.
Scooby, on the other hand (aside from the occasional Momma Cass cameo), was just plain corny.
Hanna Barberra at it's formulaic worst (to say nothing of Charlie Chan and the fucking Chan Clan).
Give me The Funky Phantom anyday.
(or for a true classic and criminally underappreciated HB series from the 70's, peep "Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home")
And I have to think that the Franklin strip was definitely doctored.
I've seen a few similar strips that were changed up a bit - and quite funny too.
I'm betting that strip was part of that group.
Anyone here remember the Peanuts strips that were done during Hank Aaron's chase to beat Babe's HR record? Pretty profound stuff for the time and certainly not in step with that weird little tete a tete between Patty and Franklin.
Snoopy is the ultimate. He doesn't really speak, but understands everything, people understand him, like a rapper he flips many alter egos. The music is so good in peanuts! when snoopy gets sad and he puts his head down and that piano like eric satie type shit comes in it rips me up in side everytime.
On the other hand, Franklin, poor franklin, he never gets anywhere! barely ever gets dialogue! and when he does it's some rascist shit! So sad.
