Foreword by Andy Cohen., In October of 1950, a new kind of strip was born. Its creator, a 27 year old Minnesota cartoonist named Charles Schulz, chose to strike out in a new direction rather than follow the lead of other cartoonists. Rather than relying on slapstick, action, or adventure--Schulz used Peanuts to tell the truth about life. "It was a measure of his genius to put his whimsical observations on the meaning of life into the mouths of babies," said his hometown paper, The Press Democrat, in an article summing up his legacy. The late Bill Mauldin, one of Schulz' favorite cartoonists, called him a "philosopher, a Gandhi." It is that focus on life wisdom--leavened with Schulz' trademark humor--that is celebrated in the Peanuts: Guide to Life. Here are Schulz' pithiest observations on what it means to live--and love--well., Peanuts Wisdom on Parade What do cartoon characters know about life?
