But, Schulz slowly developed the personalities for his characters. Adults are rarely depicted in the strip and, when they are, you cannot see their entire body or understand what they are saying. Since adults are rarely introduced, the children of the strip experience regular childhood situations, but approach them with the mindset of an adult. (Walker, 438). In the beginnings of the comic, Peanuts was only a “space-saving feature.” On October 2, 1950, the comic debuted in seven different newspapers.

But in reality Mr. Trump is only one opinion, so therefore he is not a reliable source. “I have called this press conference to address the issue with the media and how the news is fake and…

In Hill’s essay she exerts authority by speaking as if she was speaking for everyone who had ever read “Calvin and Hobbes”. Hill also feels as if she has the authority to speak on this matter because she went through a situation similar to Calvin’s. She writes “…he taught an entire generation of children…” implying and assuming that every kid in that generation was taught the same lesson she had learned from the comic (244). Just like Hill, Rubin also displays a confidence when she boldly writes…
