Features: My comic strips have very simple plots, which makes them quite different from the preachy children's comics filled with dull everyday sayings like "What should we do today?" I remember once telling a friend that I truly wanted to do good things. — Charles M. Schulz "He (Schulz) was so honest, so straightforward, so kind. His kindness was beyond imagination. He was not a person who sought fame or fortune. He was a true man." — Stan (sculptor) I am a loyal fan of "Peanuts." I only sleep on Charlie Brown's bed sheet. My aunt gives me a Peanuts birthday card every year. I firmly believe that happiness is a warm blanket. I wonder if we wouldn't go crazy if this little dog bit us, or if we would all be surrounded by a halo of Peanuts. — Laura Bilings (St. Paul Pioneer Press) If the shoelaces are tied incorrectly, I can't breathe! — Linus Charlie Brown's life is enriched by his sister Sally's participation. This little girl, who complains, dislikes studying, yet has many whimsical ideas, never lets her brother go. When the butter solidifies during breakfast, she asks her brother why he didn't tell her "Life is so hard"; when she sees her name in the phone book, she demands her brother explain why, given that she is such a famous figure, the Bible doesn't include her name; is he more loving towards her or towards Snoopy? This is her severe interrogation of her brother. She constantly asks her brother to help her with homework but forbids him from explaining the difficult parts, as it would waste her time; What Charlie Brown can't stand is that she not only opens his letters privately but also replies to them on her own. She derives a unique worldview from her life—"Who cares? How do I know? Do you think I'm stupid?" Snoopy is still wandering freely between war and peace. On the doghouse roof, he continues his game of the Allied ace pilot versus the German Red Baron in World War I, and recently has the D-Day landing of World War II in his neighbor's yard and pool. He leads a bird troop on a wilderness long hike. When he gets lost, he admits: The best way is to follow the cat's rear and find the right direction again
