So the amusing mash-up of Smiths lyrics and Peanuts frames is being hounded off the web,
because copyright:
The Smiths’ licensing company (Universal Music Publishing Group) has started requesting posts be removed from This Charming Charlie. So far 6 posts have been removed, and it is increasing every hour. If you like the page, please save copies of the comics to your own computer. I will repost the images on my personal site.
To be fair to Universal Music, there's clearly a fundamental threat to their business because I've certainly stopped buying Smiths records now that I can read a single line of a song in a speech bubble coming from Linus' mouth. Obviously.

This is clearly fair use. I'm sorry to hear the website has succumbed to the pressure, but it's understandable.
