A few years ago, Charlie Brown and the "PEANUTS" gang made a new friend who developed leukemia in an animated special entitled, "WHY, CHARLIE BROWN, WHY?"

Recently, MetLife has put out a series of instructional pamphlets which feature the "PEANUTS" gang dealing with such issues as the loss of a loved one, writing a will, and dealing with a permanent disability. Now that Charlie Brown is dealing with important issues, how about some "PEANUTS" specials for the kids of the '90s?
