The Comics of Charles Schulz collects new essays on the work of the
creator of the immensely popular Peanuts comic strip. Despite
Schulz's celebrity, few scholarly books on his work and career have
been published. This collection serves as a foundation for future
study not only of Charles Schulz (1922-2000) but, more broadly, of
the understudied medium of newspaper comics. Schulz's Peanuts ran
for a half century, during which time he drew the strip and its
characters to express keen observations on postwar American life
and culture. As Peanuts' popularity grew, Schulz had opportunities
to shape the iconography, style, andphilosophy of modern life in
ways he never could have imagined when he began the strip in 1950.
Edited by leading scholars Jared Gardner and Ian Gordon, this
volume ranges over a spectrum of Schulz's accomplishments and
influence, touching on everything from cartoon aesthetics to the
marketing of global fast food. Philosophy, ethics, and cultural
history all come into play. Indeed, the book even highlights
Snoopy's global reach as American soft power. As the broad
interdisciplinary range of this volume makes clear, Peanuts offers
countless possibilities for study and analysis. From many
perspectives-including childhood studies, ethnic studies, health
and exercise studies, as well as sociology-The Comics of Charles
Schulz offers the most comprehensive and diverse study of the most
influential cartoonist during the second half of the twentieth
century. With contributions by: Leonie Brialey, MJ Clarke, Roy T.
Cook, Joseph J. Darowski, Ian Gordon, Gene Kannenberg Jr.,
Christopher P. Lehman, Anne C. McCarthy, Ben Owen, Lara Saguisag,
Ben Saunders, Jeffrey O. Segrave, and Michael Tisserand.
