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 was truly trying 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, and if we would all have a halo of Peanuts around us. — Laura Bilings (St. Paul Pioneer Press) If the shoelaces are tied wrong, 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 a wealth of imagination, 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, despite being such a famous figure, her name isn't in the Bible; is he more affectionate toward her or toward Snoopy? This is her stern question to her brother. She constantly asks her brother to help her with her 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 secretly 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 also reenacted the D-Day landing of World War II in his neighbor's yard and pool. He leads a bird troop on a long-distance camping trip. When he gets lost, he admits: The best way is to follow the cat's rear and find the right direction again.
