The creator of beloved cartoon Peanuts, CHARLES SCHULZ was an innovative genius of American comics and also the marathon man, drawing panel after four-square panel, year after year, creating a fantasy world that connected to kids as well as adults and all based on powerful iconic characters who express deep feelings of loneliness and resentment and despair…We remember him with love and admiration and gratitude for his gifts and his heroic endurance.” -Garrison Keillor
