A scan of pages from 'Burning MAD' - If PEANUTS behaved like real-life children. The regular characters say things like “I GOT A NEW WAGON!” SO WHO CARES! ANYWAY, MY DADDY IS A POLICEMAN! I WAS SICK YESTERDAY! MY MOMMY'S GONNA BUY ME A DOLL HOUSE IF I REMEMBER TO ALWAYS WIPE MY NOSE! "I GOT A HOLE IN MY KNEE!" “SO WHAT! I'M ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD!” “Y'KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE! I'D LIKE A GREEN SKY !!” “GUESS WHAT I'M GONNA GET FOR GONNA GET FOR MY BIRTHDAY!”
I often think of this MAD magazine strip when I'm reading Facebook comments.
