SIDELIGHTS: Charles M. Schulz, the world-renowned creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip, loved his job. During his lifetime, he maintained that all he "really ever wanted was to be a cartoonist." When the "Peanuts" comic strip began in 1950, Schulz had no idea the phenomenon it would become. A great admirer of Roy Crane, George Herriman, Al Capp, and Milt Caniff in his youth, he had a hard time selling his own comic strip at first; United Feature Syndicate finally bought it in 1950 and named it "Peanuts." Schulz, who wanted to name the strip "Li'l Folks," never really liked the title. "Peanuts" started in just eight newspapers and gradually grew. At the time of his death in 2000, Schulz's comic strip was read by more than 335 million people everyday. It appeared in 2,600 newspapers and 75 countries. Reprints of the comic strip still appear in newspapers today.
Schulz named his Charlie Brown character after a friend at Art Instruction Schools named Charles Frances Brown. Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy, was modeled after Schulz's own childhood pet, Spike. Many of the other characters in the strip were also based on friends and acquaintances of Schulz. The popularity of the strip is often credited to its ability to relate to almost anyone. "Charlie Brown was the quintessence of ordinariness," reported the Encyclopedia of World Biography.
Lee Mendelson pointed out in his biography of Schulz, "Charlie Brown has become the symbol of mid-century America … because [he is] a basic reflection of his time," the "Mr. Anxious" of the age. Richard R. Lingeman wrote in the New York Times that the "Peanuts" children "precociously know that life can be lousy and their popularity from the late fifties on may be due to their reflecting a secret, self-doubting, self-questioning mood abroad in the nation: Charlie Brown is everybody's loser because everybody is a loser much of the time. "Peanuts" offers a gentle philosophy of human relations, of stoically coping with existence, that is the underside of the preachments of those eupeptic middle-class yeasayers from Norman Vincent Peale to How to Be Your Own Best Friend." Commenting on the universality of the appeal of Charlie Brown, the perpetual loser, Schulz said in Peanuts Jubilee: My Life and Art with Charlie Brown and Others, "Readers are generally sympathetic toward a lead character who is rather gentle, sometimes put upon, and not always the brightest person. Perhaps this is the kind of person who is easiest to love. Charlie Brown has to be the one who suffers because he is a caricature of the average person. Most of us are much more acquainted with losing than we are with winning. Winning is great, but it isn't funny."
Newsmakers 2000 noted, "'Peanuts' opened a new chapter in comics for its focus on the insecurities that everyone faces in life." Unlike many cartoonists, Schulz did all of the work on the comic strip by himself, often drawing material for the strip from his own childhood memories and from his experiences in raising five children. According to Contemporary Heroes and Heroines, "His own youthful disappointments in love, athletics, and school" became part of his comic strip. His personal touch set it apart from other comic strips. Schulz was the only cartoonist ever to have won the Reuben Award (the cartoonist's equivalent of the Oscar, designed by and named after Rube Goldberg) twice, in 1955 and again in 1964.
The popularity of the strip "cuts across every kind of classification for all kinds of special reasons," wrote John Tebbel in a Saturday Review article titled "The Not-So-Peanuts World of Charles M. Shulz." Tebbel continued, "Schroeder, the Beethoven-loving character who is usually seen playing the piano when he isn't playing baseball, appeals to people who had never heard of Beethoven before. The little tyrant Lucy is seen by the small fry as a deliciously contrary girl…. Linus, with his security blanket, seems to speak to everyone who would like to have a blanket of his own in troubled times. And Snoopy, the beagle who has Van Goghs hanging in his doghouse and a World War I aviator's helmet on his head, is the kind of fantasy dog everyone would like to own." Nonetheless, Schulz contended that there really was no specific "philosophy" behind the strip, and that his "chief purpose" was "to get the strips done in time to get down to the post office" before it closed.
The "Peanuts" comic strip developed well beyond the pages of the newspaper. In 1965, Schulz introduced the lovable characters to television, and during his lifetime, wrote many memorable animated shows about Charlie Brown and his pals, including classic favorites such as A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. He also wrote several feature-length animated films about the "Peanuts." But, the "Peanuts" industry does not stop there. "Peanuts" characters adorn T-shirts, lunchboxes, stationery, furniture, and much more. The "Peanuts" cartoon propelled Schulz to fame, and spawned books and documentaries about the cartoonist. Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals were created based on "Peanuts" characters.
Even the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shown its love for the "Peanuts" cartoon. Snoopy made international history as the official name of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) of the Apollo 10 manned flight to the moon in 1969. Great Pumpkin sightings are reported almost as often as UFO's, and Schroeder and his toy piano have been immortalized in the stained glass window of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Buffalo, New York, along with Bach, Martin Luther, Duke Ellington, and Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Through his "Peanuts" cartoon, and Charlie Brown's "everyman" appeal, Schulz touched many lives. "The reader knew [Charlie Brown], knew his fears, sympathized with his sense of inferiority and alienation," noted the Charles M. Schulz Museum Web site.
The award-winning cartoonist laid down his crow-quill pen and announced his retirement on December 14, 1999, after suffering a stroke and a battle with colon cancer. According to the Charles M. Schulz Museum Web site, Schulz said, "I never dreamed that this would happen to me." In the months following his retirement, his office was flooded with letters from fans, lauding the cartoonist for his work. "Charles Schulz has shown us that a comic strip can transcend its small space on the page. It can uplift; it can challenge; it can educate its readers even as it entertains us," said President Bill Clinton in a farewell to Schulz.
Schulz would not live to see his last original Sunday cartoon in print, set to run on February 13, 2000. Schulz passed away in his sleep on February 12, 2000. The Charles M. Schulz Museum Web site noted, "As soon as he ceased to be a cartoonist, he ceased to be."
