Charles Monroe Schulz 1922 -2000 was a 20th-century American
cartoonist best known for his Peanuts comic strip. He was born in
St. Paul, Minnesota, to Dena and Carl Schulz. His nickname "Sparky"
was given by his uncle, after the horse Spark Plug in the Barney
Google comic strip. He attended St. Paul''s Richard Gordon
Elementary School, where he skipped two half-grades. As a result,
he was the youngest in his class when he attended St. Paul Central
High years later, which may have been the reason why he was so shy
and isolated as a young teenager. After his mother died in
February, 1943, he was drafted into the army and sent to Camp
Campbell in Kentucky. He was then shipped to Europe two years later
to fight in World War II. After leaving the United States Army in
1945, he took a job as an art teacher at Art Instruction Inc.,
which he attended before he was drafted. First published by Robert
Ripley in his Ripley''s Believe It or Not!, then in a series of
chronicles, The Saturday Evening Post, his first regular comic
strip, Li''l Folks was published in 1947 by the St. Paul Pioneer
Press. It was in this strip that Charlie Brown first appeared, as
well as a dog that looked much like Snoopy. In 1950 he approached
the United Features Syndicate with his best strips from Li''l Folks,
and Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950. This
strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. He
also had a short-lived sports-oriented comic strip called It''s Only
a Game 1957-1959, but abandoned that strip due to the demands of
the success of Peanuts.
