Toy Maniac: Star Wars, Nothing But Star Wars - Sep 11, 2008 - 04:11pm
The one thing I always wanted was the Jabba the Hutt playset. Alas, for numerous reasons I couldn't have it. *sniff* Fast forward some 20+ years later and now it's my son with the Star Wars bug. He's been pretty happy with his Galactic Hero action figures, but this year he's mentioned that he'd like to have some of the bigger figures as well. :D

I always viewed it as a way of showing others how the shoe feels on the other foot. Normally some of these actions wouldn't be seen as being really bad on their own. However when you see them through the eyes of the person that is experiencing it, it all feels a bit more poignant. It helps little kids understand how their actions are effecting others. It shows other kids who are bullied not to give up and keep trying, that they aren't alone. I read once (forward in one of the Charlie Brown books) that Charlie Brown is based on him. Perhaps he was drawing from experiences from his own childhood. Have you ever read any of the older strips when the main characters were all a lot younger?
