Best Superbowl spot that no one is talking about

Well, if you look at it another way, the family could be upset because they're slanting what he said.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's fairly accurate.   And the picture they paint is clearly someone who could have created Charlie Brown.  But I think, like most biographies written soonafter the subject died, there's lots of room for bullshit.

You're certainly not going to easily sell a book talking about how the guy who invented 'Peanuts' was well adjusted and normal.

He invited me to a barbeque at his house.

He must not have ANY friends.  This was a post on his IMDb page:

so i was on line to meet kevin smith today at the stash and who walks by but micheal bower! at first i wasnt sure if it was him and as he was walking away i yelled out "awful waffle" and he rasied his arm up in the rock on sign. so after met kevin and his most nicest wife Jen, i walked outside and around to the line again and he was just hangin out with me and my friends, put us on his video and even invited me to go bowling with him but by the time came to go there, my friends didnt want to and so i regretfully didnt get too.

I know the family worked with the author, and of course there are going to be some things that are slanted due to the fact that the author appears to have developed a thesis about his life early on in the process.  But we both read that Q & A in one of the Peanuts collections that Schulz had done in the early 90's.  The person portrayed in the book seems very close to the man in that Q & A.  As Oprah first said about James Frey, I think "The essential truth" is there.

I'm sure you've seen this but Monte Schulz posted about the book...

All things considered I thought it was pretty balanced, and like I said, it can't be easy to hear negative things about your recently deceased dad in any instance.  And there were things (specifically involving his daughter when she was a teen) that just didn’t need to be in that book AT ALL.

I find it sad that someone in who’s work I took so much comfort when I was a child was so unhappy so often.  THAT is why I was happy to see ole Chuck get the giant soda bottle.

Did you hear Stern's rant on it this morning?  He was seriously pissed because it was "dumb".  That there is no way that Underdog would lose to Stewie and Charlie Brown.  "He's a superhero".  He took it so serious.

Yeah I'm sure Benji or Ron Zimmerman wrote that rap.
