Schulz and Peanuts
Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography | David Michaelis
12 posts | 4 read | 18 to read
Charles M. Schulz, the most widely syndicated and beloved cartoonist of all time, is also one of the least understood figures in American culture. Now, acclaimed biographer David Michaelis gives us the first full-length biography of the brilliant, unseen man behind Peanuts: at once a creation story, a portrait of a native genius, and a chronicle contrasting the private man with the central role he played in shaping the national imagination. Schulz and Peanuts is the definitive epic biography of an American icon and the unforgettable characters he created.

My #specialedition includes every single comic of Charles Schulz's PEANUTS from 1952-2000. I reread all of them every year. My mom was a major Peanuts fan, and so am I. On her 50th birthday, I wrote Mr. Schulz, asking for a comic strip to give her (offering to pay, of course). He CALLED ME and told me it was a gift from him to her. Now that she's gone, I have it. #mostpreciousgift

TheBookgeekFrau He CALLED you?!!!! How cool is that!!! 😁 2y
dabbe @TrishB, @Amiable, @DivineDiana, @RawLovestoRead, @TheBookgeekFrau ... thanks, everyone, for the lovely comments! And yes, he did call--on his dime! That was back in 1988. He sounded like the nicest grandpa you'd ever want to meet. And he went the strip at his expense. I couldn't believe how generous he was. That was my mom's prized possession, and it's now mine. I think of her (and Schulz obviously) every time I look at it. ❣️ 2y
Ruthiella Oh my! What a great story and memory. ❤️ 2y
Eggs Oh how nice! What a lovely gesture and rich memory🥰🥰 2y

Charles M. Schulz, 1956.

Pickpick

A compulsively readable, exhaustively detailed biography of the late Peanuts creator, this biography of Charles Schulz had me hooked from the beginning. Fair warning to the fans: it doesn't leave out His flaws or ignore the unlikeable parts of him.

"Besides, I don't think God wants to be worshipped. I think the only pure worship of God is by loving one another, and I think all other forms of worship become a substitute for the love that we show one another."
