Peanuts Part 2
Cartoonists point out that you can have a long life in comics. Referring to my previous post of how short your life is in the entertainment industry. Peanuts was a juggernaut in the paper but it was because of the comfort it provided by being there daily more so than it's quality which was lacking for the last several years of it's incarnation. It had been a staple of the papers for 20,30, 40 years and people got use to it being there. Regardless of if they still read it or not. People don't like change. So when editors contemplated removing it from their pages the community was outraged. It's like an old friend who has been with them every day. That's what kept it going. And having a major syndicate behind it didn't hurt either.
