We've all seen Charlie Brown. He's on TV around Christmas time in A Charlie Brown Christmas,
in comic books and of course, the Sunday Funnies. Who was the man
behind the boy who never had any luck on the baseball field or with the
girls?Charles M. Schulz always knew he'd be a daily comic strip artist.
In fact, a teacher even told him he was going to be an artist someday.
When he went to art school in Minneapolis, Charles was a shy and
insecure student. He struggled through the course and only earned a C+
in "Drawing of Children."As soon as Charles Schulz completed the course he was drafted
into World War II where he became an infantryman, a staff sergeant and
the leader of a machine-gun squad. He never gave up drawing and he
always had time to decorate soldiers' letters home with cartoons.When Charles Schulz returned from the war, a small Roman Catholic magazine, Timeless Topix,
offered him his first job in cartooning. He also took another job as a
teacher where he met a friend named Charlie Brown and a girl with red
hair who broke his heart. Charles never stopped looking for work doing
comics and he eventually had some of his work sold in the Saturday Evening Post.
