I hesitate using the word ‘sturdy’ to describe the Peanuts comic book. That’s what you use to describe a table or your balance. In this case I mean dependable, consistent and as charming as the day is long. Peanuts is one of the most consistently pleasing all ages comic books that I read. It’s great for new fans, classic Peanuts and retains all of the warmth, humor and characters that you know.

Power Down, Little Robot treads familiar ground. A child doesn’t want to go to sleep and his mother is trying valiantly to get them in bed. Roll your eyes if you want to, but the subtle dialogue by Anna Staniszewski and retro-future illustrations by Tim Zeltner make the book super cute.

I’m learning to love Adventure Time. Season 4 on DVD got me interested and now I’ve started to search it out online and on Roku also. The downside to watching it solely on your television streaming device is that they’ve only added the first two seasons. Adventure Time is in its sixth season now, that’s lots of silliness and Frost & Fire that you’re missing. Adventure Time: Frost & Fire focus in all on Flame Princess and Ice King.
On September 11, 2003 John Ritter died. On September 12, 2003 Johnny Cash died. I enjoyed both of their works, Ritter for Three’s Company and Cash for his countless songs that I enjoyed. It’s rare when two famous people that I admire or liked their work pass away with such sequence to each other. It happened again recently when Leonard Nimoy and Oren Miller died.

I don’t specifically remember our lunch lady, but I suspect she was the third most feared person at the school, followed by the garbage man and the principal. The Lunch Witch takes the child’s perspective of Grunhilda, an elementary school lunch lady and imagines her as a real witch as she tries to help Madison.

Granted there are some major changes that necessitate how we act or what is needed to happen, but it’s the small, seemingly mundane daily choices that make up the decision that we do. I think about that often, as well as the impact of reverse psychology in how it affects the things I say or do as a parent to our two boys.
