Official Peanuts: Merry Christmas Charlie Brown

“The Hero Gen Z needs.” – The Atlantic, 2023
“Probably the greatest American humourist since Mark Twain” – Alistair Cooke.
“I loved Charlie Brown for his insecurity, for admitting that he was unfit for the game of life, for providing consolation in a literary world of supposed role models… In such a world, which is the real world of childhood, with its miseries, beatings and unattainable girls, Charlie Brown was a solace.” – The Guardian, 2015
“Schulz’s genius…was to put these traits in different characters rather than one, and to bring them to life with a few economical strokes of his pen.” - Jeff Kinney, author and illustrator of Diary of a Wimpy Kid creator.

Born in 1922, Charles M. Schulz was a beloved American cartoonist and writer, who created the iconic Peanuts comic strips. For the past 75 years, these comics have captured the imagination of both the young and young at heart with Schulz’s wry observations, melancholic witticisms and charming flights of fantasy. The strips follow the lives of Charlie Brown, his dog Snoopy and their pals as they navigate friendship, love, success and more trying times.

The first Peanuts strip appeared on the 2nd of October 1950, and when Schulz died in 2000, the comic strip was syndicated in over 2,600 newspapers worldwide. The strips have been adapted into television, theatre and film to much critical acclaim. Schulz’s work has left a massive imprint on popular culture.
