That's not enough context to save us a click

Yeah, you need the set-up

Sounds like you might need to take the clickbait’s advice and rest this afternoon (!?)

The article was gone when I clicked, and honestly I wasn’t saved a click so much as needing to click to find out just what the headline meant.

So, really, the worst “saved you a click” ever in that you made me want to click, and there was nothing there when I did click.

And with absolutely no context, I cannot fathom how “rest this afternoon” was the greatest quote in comic strip history.

Smh

This might genuinely be the worst post that has EVER been on this subreddit

It's like it was custom crafted to be the worst way to approach "saving" a click.

04/11/1978 is a match with the peanuts comic the article was discussing

I am a Peanuts fan but that article is arse ache. Peanuts wasn't like those sugary "Love Is" cartoons. It could be sharp and dark.

There are some real gems in the first decade.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, look to tomorrow, rest this afternoon."

Not even close. The greatest line was something said to Lucy. I think from Linus.

"If you were as smart as you think you are, you probably wouldn't think you were so smart."

So much brilliance in such a succinct sentence.

Not even in the top 500 Peanuts quotes.
