EVERYONE said
goodbye to their most
favourite cartoon
character, Charlic
Brown, on Monday
January 3.

This cartoon will not be

shown anymore because Mr.
Charles Schultz has colon

cancer and will not be able to
do any more cartoons.

This is going to affect a
lot of adults who have kids of
all ages, because there are
not very many TV shows
suitable to watch anymore.

It will also affect adults
who like to open the newspa-
per and find one of Chartes
Schulz’s comics and read
them while enjoying a nice
cup of Starbucks coffee.
