A Visit from Peanuts Creator Charles Schulz

May 20, 2025
12:00pm - 1:00pm

Best known as the creator of the Peanuts comic strip that featured Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and all the rest of the gang, Charles Schulz was a veteran of World War II. His first Peanuts strip was published in 1950 in seven newspapers. At the time of his death in 2000 it was appearing in 2,600 papers around the world. Schulz recognized that comics were not just a medium for children. His ability to connect with people through a four-panel strip using dry humor, sarcasm, wit, and melancholy resulted in an ongoing daily narrative that lasted nearly 50 years. Schulz is portrayed by James Froemel of Maidsville, WV
