Valentine's Day

In its final 5-10 years or so Peanuts got kind of stale, I think (hmm, that metaphor amuses me), but in the early and mid period it was often excellent, and at times simply awesome.
There was something...a certain quirkiness of outlook that really worked. I remember one time when Linus was walking around, being a dinosaur. He walked up to try and scare Lucy with a fierce open mouth and his hands up, like claws. She looked at him and immediately assumed the same position. Then they both turned and went off, as dinosaurs, presumably to scare someone else.

This Valentine's Day should be okay, assuming that I remember to get two cards - one from me, and one from Sebastian. :D
Thanks for reminding me. I hope you have a great Valentine's Day too!
