作者简介

Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).

In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course, and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post―as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts―and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate.) The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.

Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day―and the day before his last strip was published―having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand―an unmatched achievement in comics.

查尔斯·舒尔茨（Charles M. Schulz）于1922年11月25日出生于明尼阿波利斯。当两岁的叔叔给他一个绰号“ Sparky”（在报纸上的Barney Google中的赛马“ Spark Plug”之后）时，就预示了他的命运。

高中高三时，他的母亲在当地一家报纸上注意到一所函授学校联邦学校（后称艺术教学学校）的广告。舒尔茨通过了人才测验，完成了课程，并开始尝试将堵嘴漫画出售给杂志，但未成功。（他的第一个出版的素描是他的狗Spike的作品，并出现在1937年的Ripley的信不信由你杂志中。）1948年至1950年间，他成功地向周六晚报卖出了17幅漫画。以及当地的圣保罗先驱出版社（St. Paul Pioneer Press），每周一次的漫画集《Li'l Folks》。它在妇女区运行，每周支付10美元。在编写并绘制了该功能两年之后，舒尔茨要求在纸张上放置一个更好的位置或进行日常曝光以及加薪。当他拒绝所有这三个方面时，他辞职了。

他开始向报纸集团提交新闻稿。1950年春，他收到了联合会辛迪加联合会的来信，宣布他们对他的投稿Li'l Folks感兴趣。舒尔茨6月份登上前往纽约市的火车；他对脱*舞比对面板更感兴趣，他还带来了花生的第一批作品``那就是卖出的东西。（这个标题是舒尔茨讨厌的，直到他去世的那一天。这个标题是由该集团强加的。）《花生》的第一版出现在1950年10月2日。1952年1月6日，第一个星期日。

诊断为癌症的舒尔茨于1999年底从花生中退休。他于2000年2月13日，即情人节的前一天，也就是他的最后一篇发表的前一天，去世，已经完成了17,897每日和星期日小条，每一条都完全由他自己亲手书写，绘制和书写，这在漫画领域是无与伦比的。
