Charles Schulz the creator of world-famous cartoon series Peanuts, talks about his career, cartoon and so on.
Charles M. Schulz… November 26, 1922 - February 12, 2000 - Creator of the ‘Peanuts’ comic strip, Charles Monroe Schulz, is considered by his peers to be one of the most influential cartoonists of all times. The comic, featuring ’Charlie Brown’, ‘Snoopy’, ‘Lucy’, ‘Linus’ and the rest of the Peanuts gang has warmed the hearts of Americans for generations. The cartoon is known for its sarcastic humor, childhood fantasies and the depiction of the inner thoughts of a household pet. According to ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ creator Bill Watterson, ‘Peanuts pretty much defines the modern comic strip’, adding that ‘in countless ways, Schulz blazed the wide trail that most every cartoonist since has tried to follow’. Schulz, whose nickname was ‘Sparky’, was born on November 26, 1922 and lived until February 12, 2000. Though many people are unaware, the first appearance of ‘Charlie Brown’ was in a weekly comic strip called ‘Li'l Folks’ that appeared St. Paul Pioneer Press, from June 22, 1947 to January 22, 1950.
