Charles Schulz was born on November 26, 1922, and grew from an ordinary Midwestern boy who loved drawing into the world-famous creator of Peanuts, producing nearly 18,000 comic strips that eventually appeared in thousands of newspapers and were read by millions worldwide. His characters—shaped by real people and personal experiences, from a friend named Charlie Brown to a beloved dog named Spike—inspired readers with gentle humor, honesty, and the everyday challenges of life.
