My thanks to whoever set this up. I had suggested the idea of annotations for the contents of "The Complete Peanuts" volumes in a comment on Amazon.com some time ago, but it never occurred to me that it could be done here. Thanks to Kevin Lauderdale for bringing this to my attention.--Mkeenan 19:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Queries

[edit]
  1. Mad money - I had always thought this was money to do "crazy" things with rather than "angry" things. Mad Money would tend to support this.
  2. Walking nearer the kerb - rather more prosiacally, to prevent the lady from getting splashed by carriages.
  3. Second childhood - not always used to present "feeblemindedness", and certainly not always Alzheimers. Rich Farmbrough 15:23 9 May 2006 (UTC).
  4. Fuss-budget. Not sure this is notably a Peanuts term. RF
  5. Pretend handguns: When pretending our hand is a gun, doesn't the thumb represent the hammer? The trigger is below the barrel - not behind it.

KXL: #5 is def. correct. I'll fix that and look into the others. June 1

KXL: I've ammended 2 and 3 as well. June 2

An AfD with a conclusion of TransWiki was conducted, result at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Complete_Peanuts:_1950_to_1952_Annotations if WikiBooks doesn't wnat it, how does this affect the decision? This looks like a lot of work, and in the fashion of "The Annotated Alice" or "The Annotated Snark" is worth making avialable somewhere ... Though perhpas not so obviously in WP...Midgley 00:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
