Charles M. Schulz (1922 – 2000)

Charles M. Schulz grew up reading the Sunday funnies with his father in St. Paul, Minnesota. From as far back into his childhood as he could recall, Schulz always wanted to be a cartoonist and to “draw funny pictures”. By the time he was a senior in high school, he was already studying the art form through a correspondence course. After his aspirations were put on hold for several years while he was in WWII, Schulz began to settle into his career as a cartoonist in his mid-twenties, with a deeper level of gravitas mixed into his dry and humble sense of humor. After three years of running a weekly panel, “Li’l Folks,” in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Schulz’s unmistakable charming stories earned him his due credit. In October of 1950, at the ripe age of 27, Schulz ran his first, “Peanuts” strip in seven newspapers across the United States. A half a century later, when Schulz announced his plan to retire in 1999, the comic’s syndication had increase from seven newspapers to over 2,600! It has been over decade since the last strip ran on February 13, 2000, but the warmth of his characters has not diminished, and Charles Schulz’s legacy remains.
