Charles M. Schulz Museum Celebrating cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, creator of Snoopy & the PEANUTS gang!

📍50 miles north of San Francisco The Charles M.
(2342)

Schulz Museum and Research Center was designed to reflect the modest, low key, and comfortable personality and style of the internationally-famous cartoonist. Until his death in 2000, Charles “Sparky” Schulz himself was involved with each design stage. After his passing, his widow, Jean, along with close friends, family members, and museum and design professionals kept his vision in mind to create this beautiful and meaningful space as a tribute to an extraordinary man.

🏅 Happy National Sports Day!

Determination, teamwork, and, inevitably, defeat—throughout Peanuts, sports provide valuable life lessons in the ups and downs of everyday life.

"I still think the challenges to be faced in sports work marvelously as a caricature of the challenges that we face in the more serious aspects of our lives. Anytime I experience a crushing defeat...I am able to transfer my frustrations to poor Charlie Brown. And when Charlie Brown has tried to analyze his own difficulties in life, he has always been able to express them best in sports terms." —Charles M. Schulz

"Of all the things in the strip, I think that I am most proud of Linus's security blanket…I'm sure kids dragged around blankets before Linus appeared—I know mine did—but I'm sure he became the leading practitioner." —Charles M. Schulz

Although Schulz may not have been the first to use the term “security blanket,” he undoubtedly popularized it. The phrase became so synonymous with Peanuts that the Oxford English Dictionary added Schulz to its entry in 1986.
