Seth Green - Oh, How I Hate Him!
06.02.05
My favorite Peanuts strip is the very first one. Two kids sit on the curb watching Charlie Brown walk by. "There goes good ol' Charlie Brown," the boy says. "Good ol' Charlie Brown."
After Charlie Brown has come and gone (without saying a word) the boy finally lets his true feelings be known: "Good ol' Charlie Brown... How I hate him!"
Charles Schultz knew the great truth of comedy: Bitterness is hilarious. And if I can share my bitterness with all of you, and you can laugh at me.. I mean, laugh at my bitterness... Well, then it's all been worth while.
This week, I am proud to present a column twenty years in the making: "Seth Green - Oh, How I Hate Him!"
(With apologies to Chuck Schultz and, of course, to Seth Green.)
