   Nope. He didn’t have to fake anything.

   I’ve been wondering the same thing. BTW, I can find the first Pickles strip from 1990 online, but then I don’t find any others until 2003 (here on GoComics), by which time the strip had changed drastically and taken on its present-day form. I for one would really like to see the strips in between and watch the transition.

   If my calculations are correct, June 18, 1975 was the end of the first half of PEANUTS’ total run (i.e., from first strip to last new strip). June 19, 1975 would be the beginning of the second half.

   Actually, it’s very much disputed. The fossil evidence doesn’t demonstrate it; it’s merely interpreted as if it does. The differences between feathers and scales alone are enough to throw serious doubt on the whole idea.

   Real science is true even if someone doesn’t think it is. And popular “science,” wherein all evidence must be treated as if it supports the official “conclusions,” is false even if most of the world thinks it’s true.

   “Lacking” is an understatement. The only true words in that comment are “ancient” and “collection.” The rest is name-calling with no basis in anything resembling actual knowledge.

   This should give an idea why Christ came to make a way to God, not to start another world religion. If you define “religion” correctly (i.e., as man’s attempts to reach some idea of “god(s)”), the Bible is actually a very anti-religion book.

    (1) Lucy: Where are you going, Charlie Brown?

    (2) CB: Peppermint Patty’s team is short a glove, so I’m walking over to lend them mine.Lucy: You’re kidding! Don’t you think they’re taking advantage of you?

    (3) CB: No, I’m doing it because I want to do it.

    (4) Lucy (shouting): What are you, some kind of mystic?
