Synopsis

Best known as the creator of Peanuts, Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) was also a writer of thoughtful and precise prose who knew how to explain his craft in clear and engaging ways. My Life With Charlie Brown brings together his major prose works, many of which are published here for the first time. Schulzs autobiographical articles, book intros, magazine pieces, lectures, and commentary elucidate his life and his art, and clarify the themes of modern life, philosophy, and religion that he wove into his beloved, groundbreaking comic strip. Featuring collections of Schulzs comics criticism, his introductions to the Peanuts volumes, essays about philanthropy, his commentary on Christianity, and his articles about the creation of his characters, as well as 25 specially selected black & white illustrations, this volume reveals a whole new dimension of this legendary cartoonist
