Schulz and Peanuts

SCHULZ AND PEANUTS by David Michaelis (Harper Perennial)
This exhaustively researched biography paints an illuminating, sometimes heartbreaking portrait of one of the 20th century’s greatest artists (note I didn’t limit it to “cartoonists”). Selected PEANUTS strips correlate directly to Charles Schulz’ many demons (even infidelity) while reminding the reader what an extraordinary observer of human nature he was.
