========== Peanuts - Unrequited Love =========

Okay guys, get ready. This is going to be my longest
readme ever. =) Fitting, don't you think?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, here it is at long last! After almost 6 months on the board, I'm reasonably happy with it - I've had to scrap many of the ideas I began with, and there are a few areas that I am certain I could have done better, but that's all part of Winamp skinning. I've managed to incorporate all the characters that I wanted to, and that makes me happy. If you see someone you don't know, check the character list at the end for a list of faces and names that are in each window. Apologies to anyone who was rooting for Shermy, Patty, Violet, Frieda, any number of Snoopy's Walter Mitty incarnations, and the long list of one-timers like Molly Volly, but there just wasn't enough room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY I MADE THIS SKIN:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made this skin because sometime in May, someone in the Skin Love forum at Winamp.com made a 'toon skin, and then someone else (me) had to open his fat mouth and suggest that everyone make a 'toon skin for a showcase that was supposed to hit the public in August. I will state plainly here that I WOULD NOT HAVE FINISHED THIS SKIN had it not been for the constant hounding I recieved from a certain free-lance artist we all know and love, and a certain
forum administrator who lives across the pond.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS SKIN MEANS TO ME:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll be honest - Peanuts was not my favorite strip growing up. I found Jim Davis's cat much more to my liking. But as I've grown older, I've come to love the Peanuts strips. In this skin I have tried very hard to remain true to the feeling of Peanuts, that indescribable feeling that maybe you don't know what's going on, and maybe everyone else doesn't know what's going on, and maybe everything won't end up perfect - but that somehow everything will be alright.

THANKS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks first and foremost must go to Charles Shulz.
That said, Duk - this skin's for you. =) I hope it makes you smile man. I hope it makes you smile a lot.
Eternal thanks to Cappy, even more than usual this time for finding time to help me out and telling me quite frankly what you did and didn't like. I might have finished it without your thoughts, but I wouldn't have thought about it, and really tried like I have.
Jones - for promoting the whole shebang and for feeding little pieces of me to those damned
hounds.
Jayn - You're still one of the nicest people I've come across in the electronic world. Without that, I quite probably would not have kept skinning.
You - for downloading and reading this far. You must be a masochist, you sexy thing. =P
The GF - Who laughed with me all the way through all those peanuts comics I read, and reread, and frantically searched with me when I had to find just the right image. Love ya gal. =D

LEGAL INFO:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I assert absolutely NO claim whatsoever to the Peanuts images used within this skin.
The rest is my work, just ask me if you want to modify it. (email below). If anyone with legal claim to the images used feels that they have been used improperly, please contact me at the same address. However, I would first ask that you consider the nature of this work, as well as the fact that I have profited in no way whatsoever in the hours I've put into it. I hold the work and memory of Mr. Shulz in the highest regard, and in no way wish to detract from that legacy. However, I realize that in the past great pains have been taken to ensure the exclusiveness of the reproduction of Peanuts images on merchandise and memorabelia (though I hardly think this work qualifies). Therefore, direct all
