UP
of Mississippi, 1990. 104-106.
ORIGINAL PASSAGE:
Just
as Peanuts seems to have absorbed so much of the popular culture which
preceded it, the comic strip has had a profound influence on the society and
culture of its own time. Peanuts
affects and inspires our daily lives, and not simply because we can open our
daily newspapers and find it there without fail (for over 14,000 days now
without interruption—one of the few certainties in a world beset by unsettling
changes). Peanuts has become
an integral part of the history of American culture through its influence in so
many areas of our life and society.
SUMMARY:
According
to M. Thomas Inge, the comic strip, Peanuts, has a great influence on our
present-day culture (104).
