Tonight’s COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw celebrated the legendary cartoonist, Charles M. Schulz! His birthday is on Nov 26 and he would’ve been 100 this year! •Known as “Sparky” by his close friends, he was a major influence on me, as well as MANY other artists.

The Debt That All Cartoonists Owe to Peanuts

Even the least critical reader can sense falseness and fakery on the part of an unskilled—or, worse, dishonest—cartoonist. And, because the comic strip is a valueless throwaway, the cartoonist must win the reader’s trust without benefit of critical backing, museum walls, and monied collectors. The best comic strips present the cartoonist laid bare on the page; they are a condensed sum-uppance of the artist’s notions of, ideally, what makes life funny, but also of what makes it worth living. This artistic effort has to occur not over a career punctuated by a handful of masterpieces but every single day. The skeptical reader arrives cold to a little slice of comic-strip newsprint and gives the cartoonist four, maybe five, seconds: “O.K., make me laugh.” It’s no wonder that Charles Schulz, the creator of “Peanuts,” woke up feeling funereal, or like he had a term paper due every morning. Or, as he also said, “In a comic strip, yesterday doesn’t mean anything. The only thing that matters is today and tomorrow.”

It’s not the skill of the drawing, or the lines, or the lettering, or the funny words that make a strip work. Timing is the life force of comics. Without a sensitivity to the rhythms and the music—a.k.a. the reality—of life, a comic strip will arrive D.O.A., nothing more than a bunch of dumb pictures. When the comic-strip reader moves through those four panels containing those little repeating hieroglyphs, the characters must come alive on the page with as much ferocity and resonance as the people in one’s own life and memory. The reader doesn’t just look at Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, and Snoopy but reads them as musical notes in a silently heard composition of hilarity, cruelty, and occasional melancholy.

Due to an essential tremor in Schulz’s drawing hand, as the result of a quadruple-bypass surgery in 1981, this distillation felt shakier in later years; he sometimes even steadied his drawing arm with the other, to reduce the tremors to a minimum. But this difficulty did not change the strip’s essence, or Schulz’s devotion to drawing it: “I am still searching for that wonderful pen line that comes down—when you are drawing Linus standing there, and you start with the pen up near the back of his neck and you bring it down and bring it out, and the pen point fans out a little bit, and you come down here and draw the lines this way for the marks on his sweater, and all of that . . . This is what it’s all about—to get feelings of depth and roundness, and the pen line is the best pen line you can make. That’s what it’s all about.”

Schulz’s mind, and then hand, transmuted the “Peanuts” characters onto the paper and then into the eyes and minds of millions of readers, and he knew those readers trusted him to “make the best he could make.” He never gave up on them. Besides, no one else could have done it; despite the deceptive simplicity of a “Peanuts” drawing, faking one—let alone four of them in a row—is impossible. If there is one accomplishment in the art of cartooning for which Schulz should be credited, it’s that he made comics into a broader visual language of emotion and, more importantly, empathy. For this, all cartoonists—especially those of us who have attempted “graphic novels”—owe Schulz, well, everything.

This excerpt is drawn from “The Peanuts Papers: Writers and Cartoonists on Charlie Brown, Snoopy & the Gang, and the Meaning of Life,” out this October from the Library of America.

Remembering Sparky …. Nov. 26, 1922 - Feb. 12, 2000. Your legacy continues on through the happiness your characters bring to millions every day. What a lot of you may not know is that he was drafted into the Army in 1943, he postponed his career goals. Schulz attended basic training and initially served initially at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. By 1944, he promoted to sergeant as the leader of a light machine gun squad and went to Europe in February 1945. After arriving in Le Havre, France on February 18, 1945, Schulz served with the U.S. 20th Armored Division. Schulz served at various camps in the U.S. after the German surrender in April 1945. He discharged as a staff sergeant in January 1946. After leaving the Army, he returned to Minneapolis where he worked as an art teacher at Art Instruction, Inc. Schulz sold cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post, before his first regular cartoon, “Li’l Folks,” was published in 1947 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. After “Li’l Folks” was rejected for syndication by the Newspaper Enterprise Association, Schulz ended the strip in January 1950. The first “Peanuts” strip appeared on October 2, 1950, in seven newspapers. The strip quickly became one of the most popular weekly comic strips nationwide. Schulz also had a short-lived sports-oriented comic strip called “It’s Only a Game”, that ran from 1957 – 1959. The weekly Sunday page debuted on January 6, 1952 and as the expression goes, the rest is history…#armyhistory #famoussoldiers #celebritysoldiers #thepeanuts #charlesmschulz #theydiditwhycantyou #whatsyourexcuse (at Middle Tennessee Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cokamzvu4-N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Leading off for today, we'd like to offer Charles M. Schulz a very Happy 100th Birthday! He was born on (We) November 26th, 1922 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Long before we ever knew him as the creator of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang, however, Charles did what 14 million other Americans did in the early 1940s: he entered the service, and was assigned to the US Army's 20th Armored Division. Arriving in Europe in February, 1945, and the front lines in April, there was still enough fighting going around for Schulz to be awarded a Combat Infantryman's Badge. With the war ended, he returned home to Minnesota, where he worked on a variety of small graphic arts and illustration jobs. Within five years, the first "Peanuts" strip was published in 1950 - and the rest, as they say, is history. Charles never forgot his Army service, and many of the Peanuts strips paid homage to World War 2's key events, and Schulz maintained a humbled reverence to Bill Mauldin, arguably our nation's greatest combat artist, and the creator of "Willie and Joe." And of course, let's not forget that Snoopy is a famous World War One Flying Ace, who has personally tangled with the Red Baron. Charles Schulz passed away on Feb.12th, 2007, aged 77, leaving a timeless legacy behind him. 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: All PubDom #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #charlesmschulz #charlesschulz #charliebrown #peanuts #snoopy #famousveterans #usarmyhistory #armyhistory #billmauldin #willieandjoe #thefunnypages #redbarron #sundaycomics (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClbkD3hg1c4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
