I loved this article.

If you haven't seen it before, here's the '94 strip being mentioned:

And here's my personal favorite strip:

Thanks for the link to your personal favorite. Reminds me of something Woody Allen said in "Annie Hall": There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.

If you like this, check out http://3eanuts.com/

Peanuts strips with the third panel removed. Often revealing some existential angst.

In a similar vein, here's Garfield the comic with Garfield the cat removed: http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ - also a great way of getting your daily dose of existential angst.

Google's cache shows a legitimate site there, but all I see are squatter-style advertisements linking to 'sedoparking.com'.

It looks like the A record is correct, but the AAAA record is not, so those of us with IPv6 see the parking page.

Works fine for me.

I saw this a few days ago and really enjoyed it. I always knew this about Peanuts but never actually realized it. Horton is a great writer.

And here I thought they were talking about peanuts.

Was anyone else disappointed this wasn't about the legume?

If only we could italicise words in titles. Alas.
