My mom took art lessons from Betty Blue when she retired in Seminole, Florida. My mom didn't take up painting until she retired at age 55 and went to Florida for the winters. She died last year at age 89. I recently found her painting notes from her classes with Betty. My mom's painting are a complete joy to me and quite good!

Gould worked another area of popular comics and became much stronger version of himself as he aged, ending up an arch conservative who blew his life savings on the construction of a massive house that was an extension of his own ego.

I`d like to add that according to the Schulz-biography by Rheta Grimsley Johnson of the late 80s, Capp did actually notify Schulz on beforehand that a parody on Peanuts was in the works, and wanted him not to take it to the heart, or something like that. When it appeared, Schulz`s response was simply Snorre Mathiesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859982209779886396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974368667500024687.post-86460403101169884782010-12-24T17:19:29.226-08:002010-12-24T17:19:29.226-08:00Thanks for the links and info.

A couple stray thoughts:<br /><br />* This wasn't really a fair fight, since Schulz wasn't a satirist or a parodist. Their verbal exchanges were more of a level field.<br /><br />* That being said, I don't think Capp quite found the handle on this one.

I'm fascinated by late-period Capp and was lucky enough to be on a panel with Trina Robbins and Capp's granddaughter discussing some of these issues. Her take was that the times changed but he didn't, while he contended that he called out hypocrisy wherever he saw it, and the place where he saw it simply moved. <br />I diana greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140450794638464716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974368667500024687.post-28236157037059064242010-11-06T20:37:43.598-07:002010-11-06T20:37:43.598-07:00Al's problem was he just didn't "get ...Al's problem was he just didn't "get it".
