Charles Schulz, the creator of the beloved comic strip Peanuts, would have turned 100 on November 26, 2022. Despite Schulz's doubts about its longevity, Peanuts became a cultural phenomenon, with widespread merchandise and a significant following. The comic's emotional honesty resonated with readers, stemming from Schulz's own childhood experiences. The Charles Schulz Museum reported record attendance recently, partly attributed to the comic's renewed relevance through social media. Schulz's impact continues, demonstrating the enduring appeal of his characters like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy.
"I've always said there was no room for adults because if they had stood up, they would have bumped their heads on the top of the panel."
"Schulz was so revolutionary in being so emotionally honest."
"There were episodes in our neighborhood where there were some cruel children, and it's very difficult out there in the playground to survive."
"From June 2023 to June 2024, the museum reported having 100,000 visitors—the most ever in its 22-year history."
