The Telling of Faults
Shaenon: I don’t think I’ve shared this before, and it’s high time I did. I wrote and drew a comic for Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz, a collection of Peanuts art and comics by an amazing lineup of cartoonists. My story is based on my mother. Makes a great holiday gift!
Anyway, here’s the black-and-white art. The final version features colors by the great Pancha Diaz.
Channing: What can you say about Schulz that hasn’t already been said? Dude created the longest-running uninterrupted single-storyteller narrative in pop culture history. The rest of us can only aspire. Anyway, this looks cool!
An under appreciated genius, Schultz was – and he timed his death so well, too!
One of my favorite Peanuts strips involved Charlie Brown belting Lucy a good one—even if it was an accident, it was good to see him do it.
And, really, haven’t we all wanted to see Charlie Brown belt her a good one?
Ah, “Sparky” Schultz, another of the greats of our day that I almost met.
He was ensconced in his studio when I visited the Peanuts “museum.” That counts as “almost” doesn’t it?
Lucy’s lucky to lose only her shoes.
