I can tell you that things-Peanuts are VERY difficult to find, at least here
in the nation's Capital city. There used to be greeting cards, figurines,
etc. Just before Christmas, I was fortunate to find a small book of Peanuts
cartoons and a selection of videos of the animated TV series. :-(
Perhaps the "Gospel According to Peanuts" is not translating into the popular Australian culture of the 21st century. Has Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, and the crowd been abandoned, after all? [From the article, "Does The Great Pumpkin exist? We can never know. But from an existential point of view, it doesn't matter if he exists or not. The important thing is that Linus is abandoned and alone in his pumpkin patch."]
I suspect it's not so much that it's no longer relevant, but that the merchandising power of Disney has overtaken the shelf-space. But if you want things-Peanuts, just let me know, and I can get them for you.
