For many years I was a devotee of the “Peanuts” comic strip, written and drawn by Charles M. Schulz, whose simple panels seemed to contain a wealth of insight into the human condition. And I loved the cast of characters: good ol’ Charlie Brown, the ever-self-interested Lucy, the security-blanket-bolstered Linus, and my spirit animal, Snoopy. I therefore could not miss visiting the Charles M. Schulz Museum while in Santa Rosa, where Schulz lived and worked for the last 30 years of his life (and where he built a community ice rink to foster another of his passions, ice hockey).
