Things you&#8217;ve seen and read before, especially if you&#8217;re old enough to have had fresh Peanuts when you were young.  Which, strangely enough, means you&#8217;re older than high school.<\/p>\n<p>\tBut Schulz was pretty good at timelessness, I think, which is why, according to Forbes, his estate ranks highly amongst earnings from people who have passed away and why there&#8217;s still a major motion picture forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>\tI have nothing more to say except that I&#8217;ll read more Peanuts in the future.  I like them.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in serious discussion about the themes within, see this book report from 2005: <a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/2005\/10\/08\/book-report-whats-it-all-about-charlie-brown-by-jeffrey-h-loria-1968\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>What&#8217;s It All About, Charlie Brown?<\/em> by Jeffrey H.
