I also miss knowing what date the comic was originally published on. I enjoyed trying to remember where I was when it was first published and whether I read it then. Along with the rest of you, I don't care for this new set up.
You know, it's not just Peanuts that comics.com has screwed up, it's all of the United Media comic strips, Frazz, Get Fuzzy, Rose is Rose, and the rest. Snoopy.com was also a nice kid-friendly site.
Even Dilbert fixed their site when people complained. This really stinks. If I could find my comics elsewhere I would.
For you guys to change the Peanuts website to this. It's a shame! In case, you guys have forgotten. The Peanuts website had some other things to do besides to read the comic strip. They also had e-cards, games, trivia, and pictures for desktop back ground. And you could also check out the two Snoopy stores to see what they had. This site has nothing but the strip. So, who are you kidding?
1. I (and I’m sure many others) would appreciate an explanation as to why the peanuts.com site has been discontinued. Who knows, maybe there is a good reason, or perhaps it couldn’t be helped. Instead we have been redirected without comment to a different site with inferior content and presentation.
2. However, there will be no explanation that can possibly justify posting the Sunday strip in Black & White. This is completely ridiculous. Removing the color from any Sunday strip, especially Peanuts, is almost criminal. All the other Sunday strips on comics.com are in color, as were the strips on peanuts.com. Obviously there is no technical reason for removing the color. This should be changed immediately.
3. Having registered these complaints, I do have to confess that it is nice to be able to access the entire archive of strips from 1950 to the end, a feature not available on peanuts.com. Too bad the means for accessing the older strips is awkward (drop down menus only go back to 1998, you end up having to type in the date in year-month-date format), and again, all of the Sunday strips are colorless, which is absurd.
You know, I really feel like old "Chuck" right now because if you dummies (those who are responsible for this injustice) really know anything about "Peanuts" which I doubt you will remember that old "Chuck" was always getting dumped on by someone. Now, let me translate that for you! You are trying to dump this crap on me and all the Peanuts fans of the world and it will NOT fly!!! Got it?
