Charles Monroe Schulz was a U.S. cartoonist, who is credited with creating some of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time and is rightly considered among the greatest cartoonists to have ever existed. Schulz had started drawing right from the time he was a child and his earliest work depicted his pet dog Spike. After a stint in the Army during the Second World War, he worked for Art Instruction Inc. for some time before embarking on his career as a cartoonist. Schulz’s career as a cartoonist started in 1947 when he started working on the Li’l Folks for a publication. However, it was with the comic strip ‘Peanuts’ that he shot to fame. ‘Peanuts’ was also the comic strip in which Schulz introduced the hugely popular cartoon characters 'Snoopy' and 'Charlie Brown'. Peanuts ran for a length of 50 years and remain one of the most famous comic strips of all time. Schulz was without doubt a man of rare wit, talent and creativity, whose work and thoughts inspired future generations of cartoonists.
