The brains behind the beagle
Charles M. Schulz was born in
Minneapolis on November 26, 1922, and
grew up reading the comics with his father
every Sunday. Sometimes he'd draw his
dog, Spike, which family photos reveal
looked a good bit like Snoopy. At age 14,
his first published drawing appeared in
Ripley's Believe It or Not, a sketch of Spike
who was reported as a " dog that eats pins,
tacks, screws, and razor blades. " Snoopy
would be more discriminating, preferring
turkey dinners and chocolate chip cookies.
Schulz enrolled in cartooning and
days later on October 4. He was initially
portrayed as a rather normal dog, but
by late 1952, he was depicted thinking,
" There they go, leaving me alone again...I
can always sit home and watch television, "
as he ambled back to his doghouse,
complete with a TV antenna on the roof.
Peanuts soon became the most popular
comic strip of the twentieth century. At
its height, it was published in more than
2,600 papers in 75 countries, and Snoopy
seemed to be more recognized worldwide
than Charlie Brown.
Schulz had always been fascinated by
illustration correspondence courses from
Art Instruction, Inc. until 1943 when he
was drafted into the U.S. Army. He rose
to the `rank` of staff sergeant and was
deployed to Europe. On his return, he
became an employee of Art Instruction,
Inc. while also producing art and cartoons
for various Minneapolis publications.
Concurrently, Schulz was developing
his own comic strip, called Li'l Folks,
which appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer
Press in 1947. It was the precursor of
Peanuts, even including a character named
" Charlie Brown " and a dog that looked like
early versions of Snoopy. Li'l Folks was
accepted by United Features Syndicate
for nationwide publication, although the
name was changed to Peanuts because of
a conflict with a retired comic strip called
Little Folks. Schulz hated the name.
Peanuts was first published on
October 2, 1950, and Snoopy appeared two
" outer space, " and as early as 1953 he drew
Lucy leading a crew to Mars, albeit in her
" sleepers. " Following the launch of Sputnik
in 1957, the Peanuts gang looked up into a
starry sky for the Russian satellite, and
in 1958, Schulz depicted Snoopy tossing
Linus into the air, making him the first dog
to launch a human into space. This was a
parody of Sputnik 2's launch of Laika (a
dog) into space that year.
Schulz credited his son's hobby of
building model airplanes as the inspiration
