blighter |ˈblītər|noun [with adj. ] Brit., informala person who is regarded with contempt, irritation, or pity : you little blighter!ORIGIN early 19th cent.: from blight + -er 1 .
With the centennial of the beginning of WW I coming up this year (free plug: the Liberty Memorial and Museum here in Kansas City is the nation’s official WW I Memorial), it would be nice to see a complete collection of Flying Ace episodes. I wonder if whoever is running Schulz, Inc. these days has any plans for that?

It’s interesting to read this strip in the middle of following the current season of “Mr. Selfridge.”
