Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) will be forever remembered for his endearing
Peanuts comic strip characters. They include the unselfconfident Charlie Brown,
the egocentric Lucy Van Pelt, the blanket-carrying Linus Van Pelt, Charlie's
little sister Sally, the aspiring pianist Schroeder, the ever-messy Pig-Pen,
Charlie's highly-intelligent dog Snoopy, the self-assured Peppermint Patty, the
whiz-kid Marcie, etc. The popularity of his comic strip led to the filming of
numerous animated shorts for television and several feature-length animated
films. Most of the shorts were directed and co-produced by Bill Melendez, who also
usually did the voices for Snoopy and Woodstock.
