It is so easy for the brain to focus on what you do not have rather than what you do.
Especially when it’s addled by fevers the likes of which I can’t remember having since I was a kid and some pretty serious medication once I finally went to a real doctor (thanks for nothing, Zoom Care!).
I have told one hundred versions of the story of this tattoo and this is the one I decided to put on paper.
If there seem to be punchlines here that you don’t quite understand, then it’s because you don’t get the Peanuts references that are peppered throughout these four pages. The solution to this, of course, is to go read Peanuts comics until all of this makes sense to you.
Of course, I think the solution to most of life’s problems is to read more Peanuts comics.
If … anyone thinks I’ve referenced too heavily and need to change anything for legal reasons, just shoot me a message. Especially if you’re big, scary lawyers. I love Schulz and his work with all of my heart.
