Al Capp on Peanuts

"Peanuts is a great strip, but no one has ever said, publicly, that they don't like Peanuts. But then no one has ever said they don't like motherhood or the Bill of Rights. I'm sure there are such people in the country, but they keep it quiet; it would take guts to say those things publicly- especially about Peanuts. In America you must like Peanuts, even if you really don't."
