Personal Review: Peanuts 2000: The 50th Year Of The Worlds
Favorite Comic Strip by Charles M. Schulz
Peanuts has truly left its mark on the world. I can't honestly say I know
anyone who has never heard of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and Lucy.
We all know and love them. Who can ever forget Snoopy imagining himself
as a World War I Flying Ace on the top of his doghouse? Or Charlie

Brown's consistent, diligent, but always failing efforts to finally lead his
baseball team to a win?
This final collection of Peanuts strips cannot quite live up to Schulz's
genius from years past, but they are still very charming and fun to read. I'd
like to see you try to come up with a funny idea every day for fifty years. In
this collection, Schulz draws more self suffecient strips, than strories
carrying accross the dailies, probably because it was easier on him at his
old age.
Peanuts is a very rare commodity. It is certainly not gorgeously drawn, but
the writing and lovable characters make up for it's visual spareness. Plus,
although the drawings were somewhat crude, the were outragously funny,
and the whole point of a comic strip is to make you laugh, so there you are.
Charles Schulz is a true comic genius. His later work (i.e. this collection) is
not his best, but he was still able to draw a funny comic strip every day. In
the words of Bill Watterson, the brilliant man behind the wonderful "Calvin
and Hobbes"-"I've never met Charles Schulz, but long ago his work
introduced me to what a comic strip could be, and made me want to be a
cartoonist myself. He was a hero to me as a kid, and his influence on my
work and life is long and deep. I suspect most cartoonists would say
something similar. Schulz has given all his readers a great gift, and my
gratitude for that tempers my disappointment at the strip's cessation. May
there someday be a writer/artist/philosopher/humorist who can fill even a
part of the void "Peanuts" leaves behind."
