Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
Here's an article in the UK Financial Times by their food editor, where he tells the history of the Peanuts comic strip he'd grown up on himself, to coincide with an exhibition on Charles Schultz's creations being held in Somerset House.

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.

The site's asking me to subscribe.
Yeah, when I first read the article 3 days before, it was one of the few I'd ever found there that could be read in full without subscription, but evidently, the chance only lasts a few days before they restrict access. It's the same with the Wall Street Journal. Sad there's a number of papers, financial or otherwise, that demand subscription registrations to access even their entertainment and history articles.
