Celebrating the Peanuts Comic Strip

Description

Peanuts has been the most popular and successful comic strip worldwide since its genesis in 1950. Together, we’ll learn about the personal qualities and circumstances that contributed to Charles Schulz becoming a great amusing and perceptive cartoonist. We’ll discuss and view the evolution of Peanuts and its characters, as we appreciate their personalities, attitudes toward life and experiences. We’ll consider many beloved Peanuts tropes such as Lucy’s psychiatric booth, Snoopy’s novel-writing and WWI adventures, and Charlie Brown’s infatuation with the Little Red-Haired Girl. Bring your smile and prepare for good humor, comic genius and lots of laughter!
