Cap’n stace

There is a new book out that is causing quite a stir. David Michaelis, has written a book about Charles Schulz called Schulz and Peanuts. Charles Schulz created the Snoopy comic strip. The book points out how Schulz told a story through his comic strip. He thinks Schulz’s story was his way of releasing stress and moments of grief. Underlying themes of disappointment and unhappiness can be found, if you look for them.

Michaels was privy to Schulz’s personal files, professional archives and family.

Michaels tells a story about Schulz that is certainly more than Charlie Brown ever let us know.

Were Schulz comic strips telling his story or were they simply about a boy named Charlie Brown?

Read the book and tell me what you think.
