 Offered here is an official original 29 1/2 X 9 dedicated and signed Charles Schulz Peanuts print. It has a few creases but otherwise presentable. In the 20 yrs of collecting, buying and selling comic art I have not come across another example like this.  Please feel free to ask questions.
Charles Schulz, the artist and writer of Peanuts, became one of the wealthiest men in America by using his childhood insecurities and failures as material for his comic strip. Charlie Brown, the strips likable loser, shared more than a first name with his creator and was inspired by Schulz bittersweet memories of his Midwestern boyhood.

Charles Monroe Schulz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  His father, like Charlie Brown's, was a barber.  Schulz parents nicknamed him Sparky after the racehorse Spark Plug in one of his favorite newspaper strips, Barney Google.  He read the funnies avidly; copying all the characters he was fond of, especially those in Segar's Thimble Theatre and Percy Crosby's Skippy.

Schulz skipped two grades in school, but still had to struggle with his studies.  He was'nt very good at sports, felt he was awkward, had a bad complexion, was shy with girls, and had painful memories of having his cartoons rejected by the high school yearbook.

While still in school, he started taking the Art Instruction Schools correspondence course in cartooning.  During World War II, he served in the Army and was sent to Europe. Upon his return, he got a job with his old correspondence school and was employed there for five years.  He became a letterer for Topix, a religious comic book.  In his spare time, the determined Schulz sent gag cartoons to magazines, collecting a large quantity of rejection slips before he succeeded in selling a cartoon to The Saturday Evening Post in 1948.

In that same year, he started drawing a feature entitled Lil Folks for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.  It ran for two years, and in 1950, after repeated "mailbox rejections" of the sort that Snoopy the budding author suffered, he sold Peanuts to United Features.  It went on to become the most widely read comic strip in the world, appearing daily in nearly 2,200 newspapers.  It has inspired animated cartoons, a Broadway show, innumerable toys, and reprint books that have sold over 300 million copies.  In addition, Schulz and his syndicate, who split all profits, licensed the use of the Peanuts gang to a multitude of advertisers over the years.

Forbes, the business magazine, estimated about ten years ago that Schulz was one of the 10 wealthiest entertainers in the country, with an income in 1987-1988 of $62 million.  In 1987, he was inducted into the Cartoonist Hall of Fame, and has twice won the National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award.

Until his death in early 2000, Schulz lived in Santa Rosa, California where he drew Peanuts from his home studio.
