The main problem with this article is that it makes the "Why Snoopy ruined Peanuts" article utterly redundant. Its clear that the author is just taking "Why popular character X ruined (show) he was from" as a formula.

I guess its interesting from a sense of irony or maybe a creative exercise. But it almost feels like textbook "clickbait".



The author wrote that article too.

The author says he's a teacher, I'd be interested to know if he has children himself.


Maybe he has a boilerplate that he reuses.
