Charles Monroe Schulz (1922 -2000) was a 20th-centuryAmerican cartoonist best known for his Peanuts comic strip. He wasborn in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Dena and Carl Schulz. His nickname"Sparky" was given by his uncle, after the horse Spark Plug in theBarney Google comic strip. He attended St. Paul's RichardGordon Elementary School, where he skipped two half-grades. As aresult, he was the youngest in his class when he attended St. PaulCentral High years later, which may have been the reason why he wasso shy and isolated as a young teenager. After his mother died inFebruary, 1943, he was drafted into the army and sent to CampCampbell in Kentucky. He was then shipped to Europe two years laterto fight in World War II. After leaving the United States Army in1945, he took a job as an art teacher at Art Instruction Inc.,which he attended before he was drafted. First published by RobertRipley in his Ripley's Believe It or Not!, then in a seriesof chronicles, The Saturday Evening Post, his first regularcomic strip, Li'l Folks was published in 1947 by the St.Paul Pioneer Press. (It was in this strip that Charlie Brownfirst appeared, as well as a dog that looked much like Snoopy). In1950 he approached the United Features Syndicate with his beststrips from Li'l Folks, and Peanuts made its firstappearance on October 2, 1950. This strip became one of the mostpopular comic strips of all time. He also had a short-livedsports-oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game(1957-1959), but abandoned that strip due to the demands of thesuccess of Peanuts.
