LOCPEA_191011_012.JPG: Just over 69 years ago, Charles M. Schulz introduced his comic strip, Peanuts, to the world. The first strip was published on October 2, 1950. Unlike many other artists, who hire assistants to help them draw their feature, Schulz remained the solo artist. Parkinson's disease affected his ability to draw, as evident in the strips he donated to the Library in 1994. He brought Peanuts to an end on January 3, 2000 and died a few weeks later. Nevertheless, Peanuts continues to entertain generations of Americans, as remains on many newspaper comic strip pages in reruns. In addition, the beloved animated television specials and feature filmes [sic] created by Mexican-American animator, Jose "Bill" Cuauhtemoc Melendez, have become American holiday viewing traditions. The Library acquires original cartoon and animation art as part of its mission to document the history and further the creativity of the American people.

Dear Miss Swain,
I am taking your suggestion regarding Charlotte Brown, + will eventually discard her. If she appears any more it will be on strips that were already completed before I got your letter or because someone writes in saying that they like her. Remember, however, that you and your friends will have the death of an innocent child on your conscious. Are you prepared to accept such responsibility?
Thanks for writing, and I hope that future releases will please you.
Sincerely,
Charles M. Schulz
