As I recall, the potshots consisted of strips in which characters did nothing but act [[TastesLikeDiabetes sappy]], e.g. Snoopy hugging Woodstock and calling him \\\"my feathered friend.\\\" With these, Cho wasn\\\'t parodying the entire \\\'\\\'Peanuts\\\'\\\' run as such, but rather the SeasonalRot many readers feel it underwent from the eighties through its 2000 conclusion. In their view, the characters\\\' existential torment and psychological quirks, as well as the theological humour, were all but dropped in favour of Snoopy constantly craving cookies, his brother Spike \\\"talking\\\" to a cactus in the desert, and Rerun being a generic cute little kid, leaving the strip something of a ZombieFranchise. That said, I\\\'m going to leave the entry as is because the question of the strip\\\'s post-1970s quality is very much a subjective matter, and I\\\'m aware many readers do enjoy the later strips.
