🖍️ Mythology, empathy, and cartooning collide in this new episode of Audio Signals Podcast.

I mostly post about #Technology, #Society & #Cybersecurity — but by now, you probably know I’m also obsessively passionate about storytelling in every form.

So, here you go — a new episode from my Audio Signals Podcast, where I muse on #stories, #storytelling, and #storytellers.

🖍️ What happens when you mix mythological gods, emotional storytelling, and a #Peanuts illustrator who teaches empathy through comic strips?

You get #Mythtickle — and you get Justin Thompson, whom I’m honored to host on the podcast for the second time!

In this latest conversation, Justin returns to talk about his original comic strip, how he teaches compassion through art, and the creative freedom (and chaos) of building your own mythological universe.

We also touch on:
• Teaching kids in Brooklyn and Tanzania
• The upcoming Peanuts version of #Clue (yes, really)
• And how his book If I Gave the World My Blanket is being adapted into a musical play for children

Vor der Lesung stromerte ich noch durch das Willhelm-Busch-Museum in Hannover, und sah die Bleistiftzeichnungen vom alten Willhelm, die danach auf Holzdruckstöcke übertragen wurden. Willhelm Busch soll sich beschwert haben, die Graveure hätten seine Zeichnungen manchmal geglättet, wenn sie ihnen zu „hässlich“ erschienen. Mir gefällt das Handlettering von Busch.

Sundry Sunday: Earthbound Meets Peanuts
Given how similar their art styles are, it's surprising that there aren't more stylistic crossovers between Charles Schulz's and Shigesato Itoi's respective classics of popular media, but this is the first direct connection between them that I can name.

TBH, my first awareness that there could be other girls who liked girls was #PeppermintPatti and #Marcie! Thank you, #CharlesSchulz! ❤️

"When you choose to see the good in others, you end up finding the good in yourself." ~ #CharlesSchulz

25 years ago, on February 13, 2000 the final "Peanuts" comic strip was released. It followed the death of Charles M. Schulz the day before, as he passed away only a few hours before its publication, serving as his final farewell to his readers.

Not sure that I agree with the premise — that this holiday cartoon special almost never made it to television, but posting because the Vince Guaraldi score should be played again and again. Some interesting content about the score/music in the article, too.

It's 59 years since 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' aired on December 9, 1965, and it still remains one of the most beloved holiday viewings for good reason.

There's something heartbreaking, bittersweet, but also, in a way, oddly hopeful in Charlie Brown's depression and the inevitable isolation and loneliness it brings. His inability to feel joy when others celebrate, and the sense of not belonging that comes with it. In him finding value and significance, and maybe even a little bit of empathy for the small, frail tree that nobody else wanted ("I think it needs me"). The ending and the beauty of accepting and loving different and imperfect things (and people) just as they are. The score by Vince Guaraldi.

A gem of a short TV special, that perhaps hits differently and even more poignantly when you watch it again as a grown adult.

"I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."

Quem leu mais de uma HQ do Charlie Brown e sua turma, de Charles M Schulz, sabe que o nosso herói é meio azarado e nunca consegue chutar uma bola.
