And yet the syndicate keeps running the old strips.
Not all of them, but a lot from the mid-sixties to the late seventies, the supposed golden years.
PBS in America recently puked out a documentary on Sparky.
It had it's moments, but making a film about a panel strip proved in the Peanuts specials to be a jerky joke, and making a moving film about a panel cartoonist is a very long bore.
Sometimes the art is more important than the artist.
A strong case can be made that this is true with Charles M. Shultz and Charlie Brown.

Rest Well, Sparky,
for there is none for Charlie Brown.
