Complete Peanuts 1955-1956

Charles Schulz inaugurated the modern comic strip by creating the first (and still, really only) sympathetic cartoon character, which must be due in part to his work ethic: Schulz probably drew Charlie Brown as many times as he signed his own name. Throughout the course of over 17,000 strips read by hundreds of millions of people Schulz refined, developed, and codified the figures of his imagination to such a degree that they became an extension of himself-a handwriting that literally was Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, and Snoopy. And while a few other artists might claim to work as hard, no other cartoonist ever imbued their characters with so much of his own heart; Charles Schulz couldn't publicly talk about Charlie Brown in the last year of his life without crying. Maybe the only person who cared more about Charlie Brown than the rest of the world was Charles Schulz himself". -Chris Ware.Schulz, Charles M. is the author of 'Complete Peanuts 1955-1956 ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781560976479 and ISBN 1560976470.
