Preservation of the "gag" sometimes takes a backseat to an in-depth examination of Schulz's line, both as he originally drew it and as it reproduced in newspaper print.

In Sean Penn’s recent movie The Pledge, Robin Wright Penn was digitally given a gap tooth in post-production. Every move, every twitch, is perfectly calculated.
