Happy 100th Birthday Charles "Sparky" Shultz

[Cypress Sun]

Happy Birthday to the guy who gave use Peanuts. Lovable loser Charlie Brown, overbearing, untrustworthy Lucy, ultra-cool Snoopy and all the rest of his characters. Good, clean humor that still has meaning in today's world.

 

Most of today's (11/26/22) comics are dedicated to him. A complete honor indeed. 

 

Thanks for letting me grow up with Charlie and the gang.

 

Charles (Sparky) Shultz, WWII Vet, Comic, Artist and Storyteller 11/26/22 - 2/12/2000

I’ve been a Peanuts fan since the 60s and have a collection of all of his strips. Had a chance to meet him back in the 80’s when I was working for Hallmark Cards. Nice guy. 
 

As I recall, his studio and private hockey rink burned to the ground in the Paradise fire a few years ago.

There is a huge hotel near Denver International Airport, The Gaylord, that has a display called "Ice", which features Charlie Brown characters in ice. It is indoors, and you walk through halls with larger-than-life-size sculptures of all the Peanuts characters. The temperature is kept at 9-deg F, and they give you a parka to wear while walking through the display.  Absolutely fantastic! The ice is all multi-colored, not just plain. There is a sign warning not to touch or lick the sculptures!

Peanuts with a "Christmas Story" twist.

 

Linus, "I double dog dare ya". Poor Charlie Brown gets the short end of the stick again.

Charlie is appreciative of Birthday wishes, but wants to know who is delivering the Birthday Cake??
