Fanon Discontinuity/Newspaper Comics: Difference between revisions

** Another set of ''Peanuts'' fans are fine with the earliest strips, but consider the last few years of the strip (when nearly all characters but Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus have disappeared and they take a backseat to Snoopy and [[The Scrappy|Rerun Van Pelt]] to have never happened.

* One of ''[[Funky Winkerbean]]'''s longest ongoing storylines was Lisa Moore's struggle with breast cancer, something that she apparently emerged victorious from in 1999. The generally optimistic moral of the story, namely that breast cancer was an experience that could be fought against and won with the proper diagnosis, medicine, and the support of family and friends, filled with vibes of hope and good humor, was lauded by numerous doctors and breast cancer survival groups. Thus, then, it is of little surprise that so many fans of the strip do not accept the later 2006 sequel storyline, when the cancer came back in a much more serious form eventually leading to Lisa's death, complete with a much more [[Wangst]]-filled [[Wring Every Last Drop Out of Him|treatment of the condition]] and a general sense of depression hanging over the proceedings. As Lisa's death had a profound impact on the storyline, it seems that most draw the line of at the [[Hope Spot|relative happy ending]] of the birth of her and her husband Les' child, Summer, in 2005.
