Who Is He?

• Charles Schulz• Male• 1922.Nov--2000.Feb• Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota • Grew up in Saint Paul• Nickname: Sparky

BeagleSnoopy

Schulz loved drawing and sometimes drew his family dog, Spike, who ate unusual things, such as pins and tacks. Schulz drew a picture of Spike and sent it to Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Schulz attended St. Paul's Richard

Gordon Elementary School, where he

skipped two half-grades.

And, he became a shy, timid teenager,

perhaps as a result of being the youngest

in his class at Central High School. One

episode in his high school life was the

rejection of his drawings by his high

school yearbook.

Charles M. Schulz’s philosophy of life

The Philosophy of Charles Schultzhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpMWqUFr1iw

Life• I think I've discovered the secret of life --

you just hang around until you get used to it.

• Stop worrying about the world ending today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

• My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?

• Be yourself. No one can say you're doing it wrong.

Happiness• Happiness is a piece of fudge caught

on the first bounce. • Happiness is a warm puppy. • I think I'm afraid of being happy

because whenever I get too happy something bad always happens.

• Happiness is anyone and anything that's loved by you.

Love• Nothing takes the taste out of peanut

butter quite like unrequited love. • All you need is love. But a little

chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. • Just thinking about a friend makes

you want to do a happy dance, because a friend is someone who loves you in spite of your faults.

• Never appearing in the comic strip

• Charlie Brown’s affection

• IT’S YOUR FIRST KISS

• Donna Johnson 1947 working in the same ART INSTRUCTION dating with Schulz for 3 years

1950 reject his marriage proposal marriage with a fireman remain his friend for the rest of his life

The relationship between Donna and Charles• "I can think of no more emotionally damaging loss

than to be turned down by someone whom you love very much. A person who not only turns you down, but almost immediately will marry the victor. What a bitter blow that is.”
