<B><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">CHARLES M. SCHULZ</font></B><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">
(b. 1922) is the most widely syndicated cartoonist in history, with his
work appearing in over 2,300 newspapers. He has published more than 1,400
books, won Peabody and Emmy awards for his animated specials, and is responsible
for the most-produced musical in the American theatre, entitled "You're
A Good Man, Charlie Brown". And all this diversity and recognition and
continuous success began 45 years ago when the United Feature Syndicate
ran the first installment of a comic strip it dubbed <B><I>"Peanuts"</I></B>.<BR>
<BR>
While his strip deals in psychology, social commentary and often bitter
humor, its hallmark is its perspective: all these issues experienced,
evaluated, and ultimately decided upon by children. "There is a market
for innocence" says Schulz, whose discipline still drives him to his studio
every day "to get feelings of depth and roundness, and (to know) the pen
line is the best pen line you can make...I don't think I'm a true artist.
I would love to be Andrew Wyeth or Picasso...But I can draw pretty well
and I can write pretty well, and I think I'm doing the best with whatever
abilities I have been given. And what more can one ask?" -J. P.<BR>
