The strip is the most popular and influential in the history of comic strips, with 17,897 strips published in all, making it "arguably the longest story ever told by one human being". At its peak, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages.

On November 26, 1922 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dena Halverson and Carl Schulz gave birth to their first and only child, Charles Monroe Schulz. His father, Carl Schulz, was born in Germany and his mother, Dena Halverson, was Norwegian. His uncle called him, "Sparky" after the horse in Billy DeBeck's comic strip, "Barney Google". Schulz loved to draw. He sometimes drew his family dog, "Spike", who ate weird things such as pins and tacks. (artcollection.mycrom.it) In 1937, Schulz drew a picture of Spike and sent it to "Ripley's Believe It or Not!"(wikipedia.org) The picture was put into Robert Ripley's combined panel with the caption: "A hunting dog that eats pins, tacks and razor blades is owned by C.F. Schulz, St. Paul, Minn. and 'Drawn by Sparky'". Schulz went to Richards Gordon Elementary School in St. Paul. He ended up skipping two half-grades. He was said to be "shy" and "timid" as a teenager. It might have been because he was the youngest in his class at Central High School. During his time in high school, he entered some of his drawings to his high school yearbook, but they got rejected. 60 years later, a 5-foot statue of "Snoopy" was placed in the school's main office.
Charlie Parker’s parents were Charles and Addie Parker. His father was an African American stage entertainer, pianist, and dancer while his mother, Addie, worked nights at the local Western-Union office. When Charlie was seven, his family moved to Kansas City Missouri. Jazz, Blues, and Gospel music was very popular at that time in Kansas City, and Charlie began to realize that he had a musical talent so he started taking musical lessons at the public school. He also started playing in the band at school and played the baritone horn for a school play. At times, he would play the saxophone in local clubs nearby. Around this time, his father abandoned their family and later that year Charlie dropped out of school to pursue a full time music career.

Rand was born Paul Rosenbaum in 1914 in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, and grew up in a family that strictly adhered to the Orthodox Jewish law that prohibited making images. At the precocious age of three, he showed his rebellious nature by drawing pictures of the models on signs in his father's grocery store. His artistic interest was later piqued by comic strips like George Herriman's "Krazy Kat" and Nell Brinkley's comic women in the New York World. He painted signs at P.S. 109 for school events, assignments that allowed him to be excused from "not-so-interesting classes, like gym, math, social studies, and English." Religious issues aside, his father argued that art was no way to make a living, and though he resigned himself to paying the $25 entrance fee for his son's night school classes at Pratt Institute, he did so on...
Charles is actually Laurie which means that Laurie is arrogant because he talks about himself a lot. Every day, Laurie comes home and tells his parents about the day’s events, the topic that always comes up is Charles. The way Laurie talks about Charles makes him sound like he is someone who makes a great friend or that he is actually popular among other school children but his parents think that Charles is made up of “toughness and bad grammar” (1). Laurie talks about Charles to the point that it has become a “routine” (2). When children talk about someone very much, it usually means they either admire that person or the complete opposite like a child would go on and on about a superhero. The language he uses to describe Charles to his parents also suggests that he thinks Charles is not a bad influence. He mentions to his mother that even though Charles gets into trouble and the teacher warns the class not to play with him, everybody still does. Laurie makes it sound as if everybody thinks Charles is likable enough for everybody else t...
