My article on Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts and Snoopy, appears in the December 2012 issue of America in WWII magazine. Schulz served in World War II, a fact not many know. The article also includes several Snoopy comics.
It was an absolute honor and pleasure to write this article. As you may have guessed, I am a huge Snoopy collector, having amassed quite a few items in the past ten years. I love the Peanuts comics and find in them subtle wit and humor that reflects Schulz himself. To be able to write about the life of such a humble, talented man was incredible.

DeleteMelissa-just like the other two articles you wrote for this magazine, this one was so well done too! I loved it, and all of the photos too! Call me proud:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Valerie!
DeleteI never knew he served in WWII! I learn such great things from you here and on Pinterest! How very exciting for you, especially being such a Snoopy fan! Here in Minnesota, Snoopy and the gang are highly regarded. I use to love going to the Mall of America where, up until 2006, they had the Camp Snoopy amusement park. On the next trip into Barnes & Noble’s I’ll have to pick up a copy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess! Hope you enjoy the article.
DeleteWe went to Kansas City's Worlds of Fun last summer and I went nuts at Planet Snoopy - the store with all of the Peanuts stuff was incredible. I was like a kid in a candy shop!
Big congrats! We drove through Santa Rosa during summer, saw signs for Mr. Schulz, so cool. :)))
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna! I really want to visit the Schulz Museum someday. :)
DeleteHuge congratulations, Melissa! How fun when you get to write about something that has so much personal meaning. Must make it all the sweeter!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! Oh, I can't even begin to tell you how honored I was to write this story. I felt like I connected with Schulz and understood him better through all the research I did.
DeleteExcellent article, Melissa! And I love the comics you've posted on FB. They're so clever!
