Wow, i was not expecting the attention this would get. The Peanuts craze is still going i guess 😂 thank you so much for all the kind comments and support. Also the criticisms, i hear you loud and clear also! With that being said, I’d like to say that i make videos on whatever interests me. But feel free to give suggestions. I will be covering a wide range of creators on the channel, so just a fair warning. The topics will be very random! Take care everyone! ❤

I need to say here that my Dad, Charles M. Schulz, was neither a depressive nor a distant father. In fact, he was fully present in our lives, and probably more so than my mother whose own artistic passions for building led her farther from than my father’s cartooning. Yes, some of those “controversial” descriptions of my Dad came from the Michaelis biography, but even he knew better.

Thank you so much for your clarification.I had one of those playhouses with the green roof, red door, and yellow shutters when I was a girl. I used to call it a snoopy house. My parents put it in my room. I used to climb on top and try to sleep on the roof like snoopy. I also wanted a real snoopy dog.

Actually, he WAS called Sparky! That was the nickname given to him as a kid. When anyone would tell me “I’ve known Charlie for years,” I knew that person didn’t know him at all. And, no, he was not “a dull and depressed type.”

Just because others didn’t recognize him being bullied or mistreated doesn’t mean that it isn’t true. Most people are preoccupied with themselves, especially in school.

@KayCeeTX21 Месяц назад

Agreed. Especially for people of that era. Bullying was seen as physical in nature. Being beaten up in particular. Some of the behaviors that were considered innocuous “jokes” and “pranks” and “boys being boys” could be shockingly cruel and would not only be considered bullying by ANY standards today but possibly illegal as well. Just to put things into a clearer context. Most people don’t choose to be depressed. It’s a state of being that can be difficult to treat. Especially if you are being accused of being depressed for fun. Just as an aside, Skipping grades in elementary school is a very common catalyst for depression. Skipping grades invariably left the student feeling isolated and lonely. They were very often picked on and socially excluded. Which makes sense as they put among students who were in a more advanced stage of development emotionally, physically and socially. We now know that skipping grades is not worth the long term cost for the child. This happened to Charles Schultz twice. Suffice it to say, he was almost certainly bullied in ways that were far more detrimental and harmful than being beaten up. Bad enough. But not even close to what else could have been done and seen as harmless play. Just sayin.

@yesthatbruce Месяц назад

@@KayCeeTX21These are hugely important points. Thanks for making them. I was bullied emotionally as opposed to physically, and it did a lot of serious damage. (Then when I got home, I was often bullied *by my mother,* both physically and emotionally.) I had a ton of baggage to unpack when I became an adult.

Bullying is so human and America is no exception , that it’s usually not even seen! The mind can not comprehend what the brain refuses to see. Yes, I am thinking of the gender neutral child who was bullied until they reacted by throwing water. Then they were beat up. They blamed the child who threw the water, not the bullies! So many young people are being bullied so much that they end their lives. When will we see the bullies and take action?

In 1971, when I was in grade school, we wrote to Charles Schulz, asking him to decorate our Wilbur Avenue Bridge, connecting Tarzana Elementary School from the west side to the east side of Wilbur Avenue, which was often flooded during the winter. Schulz was kind enough to paint 12 life-sized Peanuts cartoon metal panels (each 5 ft tall), which are still there today. I still love to drive by and visit the beloved Peanuts gang. If you want to see what is known as the Snoopy Bridge, it’s in Tarzana, a suburb neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, CA.

I, like many others, wrote to and recieved a reply from Charles Shulz when I was a boy. I still have his thoughftul reply. In 2019, I worked beirfely for Peanuts Worldwide, the licensing branch of Peanuts here in New York. On my first day at the job, I was sorting through unopened mail at my desk and there was a letter from a boy, around the same age as I was when I wrote to him, who was also from Colorado where I grew up. In it the boy expressed his love for Charlie Brown and his friends. It was an honor to write back to him in the same spirit as Mr. Schulz had written to me. I enclosed some free swag we had and stamped the signature with a Snoopy paw print they had. It was a full circle and very special moment. That same year I marched with the Austronaut Snoopy float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and met his lovely widow Jean. Thank you Charles Schulz for all the wonderful memories you left us by turning your struggles into lingering happiness.

@angusmacdonald7187 3 месяца назад

I grew up in Santa Rosa, CA, and met Mr Schulz on a few scattered occasions. One thing we kids were taught early on was that he hated to be called "Sparky", so none of us ever did that . We also realized very quickly that his personality had an On/Off switch. If he was in a good mood, yay! He would draw pictures of his characters on any available paper for you and sign them or even include dialog. If he was in a bad mood, leave him be. Period. When the Redwood Ice Arena was opened (he put up a lot of the money for it because he missed broom hockey), he would, for the first year, hang out at the Warm Puppy Lounge a lot. There were a few of us kids who became informally known as the Sparky Patrol. Not all of us were there every day, but there was always at least one of us. We would determine what kind of mood Schulz was in. If he was in his On mood, we shepherded people up to him, never too many, and folks would come away with little drawings; if he was in his Off mood, we kept people away. "He's busy working." For this, we were given cups of hot cocoa and we knew we were the cool kids.

Schulz was the first entertainer to NET $50 million per year. That's right! After paying all his taxes and bills, Schulz had $50 million bucks, all to himself. That proved money can't buy happiness.

I truly loved Charles Schultz. You see as a kid I had dyslexia so when I was a kid in the 60s Mr Schultz had his comic strip in small weekly paper backs. I would buy one every week from the local bookstore. I also really thought I was Charlie Brown. As a kid with dyslexia you tend to be bad at sports because kids with dyslexia tend to be physically awkward. It was Mr Schultz who taught me how to read. He said that he never talked down to kids and that he always used adult language and words. I not only had every book but my niece who was born in 1967 she had a Snoopy and I would collect every picture and thing I could get my hands on. I am 67 and I have Snoopy watches and dolls and figures . I also love Mickey Mouse and have everything of Disney I could get my hands on. I cried when Mr Schultz died and even when you spoke of him. For me he could do no wrong. Thank you Mr Schultz for making my part of my childhood wonderful . I also thank the Schultz family who take care Of the peanuts yours Robert Hansen

When I was in Kindergarten (around 1970), my mother bought a copy of "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" through Scholastic Book Services. It was likely one of the first books I had in my collection of Scholastic books. As I got older, I enjoyed the various animated "Peanuts" specials that appeared on TV, particularly the Christmas special. Today, our local paper's weekend comics still features a Peanuts strip. The scripts are so timeless that I have no idea whether I'm seeing something that was penned last week or 5 decades ago, although this video claims that no new Peanuts strips have been written since the retirement of Charles M. Schultz. Lastly, I would like to comment on the cultural relevance of Lucy pulling the football away before Charlie Brown can kick it. My brother and I often use this as an analogy when discussing day to day deceptions that we encounter.

Also, another fun fact, CBS thought A Charlie Brown Christmas might've been too boring for audiences that the network suggested that they add Charley Douglass' laugh track to the special. Schulz refused, stating that the audience should know where the jokes were going to be. So they created two versions, one with and one without. CBS relented with Schulz and the team and tried without the laugh track, and it still became an instant hit. So Charlie Brown became one of those rare examples in the 60s that got successful without requiring canned laughter.

Thank you for this beautiful post! I met Mr. Schulz when I was 10yrs old, he was visiting with our neighbor's across the street. While me and my friend were playing in front of his house, Mr. Schulz came outside, I think to have a cigarette, he asked us if we liked to draw and had my friend get some paper and a pencil. He taught us how to draw Popeye, Bluto and I vaguely remember him sketching Scooby. He told us he couldn't teach us how to draw Charlie Brown or Snoopy because it would've been some kind of infringement and he didn't like talking to lawyers lol.

Similar here..... I got to encounter Peanuts in the mid 1960s as a very young child from the colour supplements in Dad's Sunday papers; I've loved them ever since. They just 'speak' to me; every character feels like a close friend! Even Lucy...😂 When Schulz passed, it really felt like all my best friends had suddenly died too.... 😢 I still love to read the cartoons though, and am slowly collecting the entire "Peanuts Collection" series of books so that I'll have the entire collection of published strips to dip in and out of whenever I want 😃 Good ol' Schulz, and Good ol' Charlie Brown...... 😊

He, Charlie Brown, was my hero growing up -- started when I was about 12. Saw the TV Specials in real time, had original paperback books of the strip. Still have the first one. Telling another person, "You know, you're a good man, Charlie Brown." Is the highest compliment I can give to a person. To me it means, like CB, you always show up, NEVER give up trying, you give it your all, find good in ppl, love with all your heart -- regardless of your failures, the odds against you, negatives from others... YOU hang in there, and have Faith in a positive outcome. Takes a special person to stand at that level. I'm very dissappointed in myself when I don't, and quietly humble when I do.

I have watched the Charles Schulz documentary as early as a decade ago! I've always found him to be such a fascinating figure! One moment I found worth noting in the documentary near the end was an account from fellow cartoonist Lynn Johnson ('For Better or for Worse'), who suggested, when it became clear that Sparky couldn't keep the strip going, that he end the strip off with Charlie Brown finally getting to kick the football. Sparky said that he couldn't bear to do that, since A) he thought it would be a way of tempting fate and ensuring he get sick, and B) he thought ending the strip like that would be killing off the characters in a way, as well as killing off the key to his childhood. (So in that regard, I'm glad that the 2015 Peanuts movie from Blue Sky, for the moment of triumph it gave to Charlie Brown at the end to give it a positive note for the audience, still kept in that classic running gag of Lucy pulling the ball away.) And also having done some digging into the history of Bill Melendez as well, from his days at Disney to working for UPA to Peanuts and then doing his own studio, I would very much be up for seeing an episode talking about his life!

The final issue of 'Timeless Topix' seems to be Volume 4 #10 in around mid 1946, after that the title was 'Topix'.If Schulz was working for the company in 1947 the missing strip is likely to be in 'Topix'. Topix Volume 5 #5 (Feb 47) contains 'Just Keep Laughing' by Charles Sculz, so the missing Army story has to be before that issue. If we go one issue earlier 'Topix' Volume 5 #4 (Jan 47), we find a 4 page army story, 'Double Escape'. This is a 4 page army story, in Topix', in 1947, and before Just Keep Laughing - I suspect this may be the missing story you mention.

Told me his daughter had bought the Jag for him and it was too much for him. He was so modest. I did all his paperwork for him and we chatted for hours. When he left he gave me his autograph and told me he would be doing his last Peanuts strip that coming Sunday as he was retiring. That Sunday as I walked up to the newspaper stand, the headline in the San Francisco times was, "Charles Shultz dies in his sleep overnight"! The day of his last strip he passed on. Peanuts ended and so did this wonderful mans stay on earth. Truly a remarkable story. I was blessed to have met him if only to have a glimpse of his greatness.

I see on stage for "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown", Gary Burghoff (Rader O"Riley in MASH), who played Charlie Brown and I can totally see it in his face.. Some of my Korean students enjoy Peanuts but know nothing about them. I enjoy teaching the about it. Amazing work on this video. Thanks!

I expected this presentation to be this good since this channel has millions of subscr........wait.........what!? Such a small channel and such an amazing production. Great work, man. Subbed!

I'm sure it wasn't your intention but your vid brought up some (happy) tears of nostalgia of when I was a kid watching the Christmas specials with my family... so thank you for that! 🥲

I'm quoting Lincoln in regards to any faults the man had. "It's my experience that those with few faults have few virtues." I have a feeling that Linus would say the same thing. Of course my favorite quote of Linus is "I love humanity, it's people I can't stand."

Seeing this video blow up and your channel blow up has been really satisfying. You put a lot of work into this and I would love to see more Peanuts lore (particularly about the real Charlie Brown and the real Linus). As an amateur animator and comic strip artist, I appreciated this video. Thank you for making it 🙂 I wish the future of your channel the very best ❤ God bless ❤

Loved this cartoon strip from the very beginning when I was in grade school. My Mom bought me all of the paperbacks sold in the grocery stores and I was looking forward to a new episode volume every week. You did a great job of balancing the good and the bad of the great animator. Love this channel And Love You Mom for all the Fun Books ❤

RU-vid recommended me something good for once? I wasn't even searching for the Peanuts, it just popped up. Keep up the good work, may the RU-vid algorithms keep blessing you on future videos.

@28:11 - Franklin was not the first character of color in the strip. Jose Peterson was introduced in 1967 as Peppermint Patty's teammate and friend until Marci was introduced. Franklin was the first black character. Good video none the less

Thanks for the Video. To this day, Peanuts still appears in the newspapers, even 24 years after his death, and is simply titled "Peanuts Classics" with the old stripes being re-released as far back as the late 60's. Thank you Mr. Schulz for your work, and making us laugh. RIP Mr. Schulz.

The Peanuts characters and situations are iconic and a work of genius. The characters are such archetypes; for example, we all know people like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Pig Pen in our lives. I swear, I work with Marcy.

Thank you for this documentary presentation. I saw Charles Schulz's grave in Healdsburg, California while doing a US military funeral ceremony. God bless all of you.

I'm from Santa Rosa which is where Charles Schultz was from when he created Peanuts. We have custom made statues of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, and Lucy in a lot of different places here in Santa Rosa and also the surrounding towns here in Sonoma County. There's even a custom made Charlie Brown statue with a San Francisco Giants jersey that was indeed custom made by the SF Giants. There aren't as many of them, but there are statues of the other characters as well such as Linus. We love The Peanuts here.
