Kite-eating tree strikes in Kennewick

Tri-City Herald
One is left wondering if the cartoon character Charlie Brown, from the Peanuts comic strip, recently flew a kite at Grange Park in Kennewick. If so, the Kite-Eating Tree, a fictional creation of cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, appears to have been planted there. In an editorial from 1964, the US Catholic states that Charlie Brown’s encounters with the Kite-Eating Tree represent “defeat, but not capitulation” because Charlie Brown “refuses to concede that the impossible won’t someday happen — that he will manage to get the kite in the sky, where it belongs,” according Wikipedia.
