Lincoln, IL, native Julie Larson has to get a full-time job, despite being a nationally syndicated cartoonist. She tells the Journal Star that she isn’t happy about it:
“The culprit is the Internet,” Larson said. ” ‘The Dinette Set’ is available 24-7, with that day’s strip available for free all over the Internet. The free-for-all...

Will somebody please pass the Peanuts …
… out the door and into the trash bin.
Ugh. I completely share Mahkno’s viewthat the Journal Star needs to dump the Charlie Brown strip for something else. My fellow Peoria blogger suggests Opus, and I don’t disagree. Although I think there are probably some edgier strips out there. Boondocks comes to mind.

‘Blessing’ my @$%!
Am I the only one who found this paragraph in today’s article about Peorian Richard Pryor’s illness a bit disturbing:

- Conan is going on tour March 11, 2010Yes, I know this has nothing to do with Peoria. But I’m a fan of Conan O’Brien, and I thought I’d mention that he’s just announced he’ll be taking his act on the road to thirty cities.
