Charles Monroe Schulz was born in Minnesota in 1922 and died aged 77 in Santa Rosa, California.
He was one of the most famous cartoonists in the world, thanks to the extraordinary success of his ‘Peanuts’ comic strip, which featured the characters of Snoopy and Charlie Brown.
These quotes from Charles M. Schultz look as if they came from the comic strip – and probably did.
He is widely regarded as one of the most influential cartoonists of all time and is cited as a major influence by many later cartoonists.
“Calvin and Hobbes” creator Bill Watterson wrote:
Peanuts pretty much defines the modern comic strip, so even now it’s hard to see it with fresh eyes. The clean, minimalist drawings, the sarcastic humor, the unflinching emotional honesty, the inner thoughts of a household pet, the serious treatment of children, the wild fantasies, the merchandising on an enormous scale — in countless ways, Schulz blazed the wide trail that most every cartoonist since has tried to follow.
Praise indeed, and well deserved.
