The last original Peanuts strip was published on Sunday, February 13, 2000, just hours after Charles Schulz died in his sleep on the evening of Saturday, February 12, 2000.
Originally wanted to name his now-famous strip "Li'l Folks." United Features Syndicate balked at this because there had once been a strip titled "Little Folks." After some brainstorming, a United Features executive came up with the title "Peanuts." Schulz accepted the new title because the first date of publication was fast approaching, but he disliked the title to his dying day. "Peanuts" debuted in seven newspapers on 2 October 1950. It went on to be the most-syndicated strip in history.
Was buried with military honors.
Sons Monte Schulz and 克莱格·舒尔茨; adoptive daughter Meredith Hodges; biological daughters Jill Schulz and Amy Schulz.
Despite his poor health in later years, he refused to have ghostwriters draw "Peanuts." These strips are notable by the slight shakiness in the lines.
At his burial, four Sopwith Camel biplanes flew overhead in the Missing Man formation.
His comic strips featuring the character Snoopy, in his World War One Flying Ace strips, are credited with reviving interest in WWI aircraft, especially the Sopwith Camel, which Snoopy pretended to fly.
Was a .50-caliber machine gunner in World War II. He forgot to load the thing during the one time he actually had the opportunity to use it; fortunately the German soldier he ran into surrendered.
Of German and Norwegian descent.
As a youth, he had a drawing of his dog appear in Ripley's Believe It or Not (1949).
Owned a dog (a mutt) named Spike.
5/27/00: Nearly 100 syndicated cartoonists created special Peanuts-themed comics as a lasting memorial to him, as creator of the enduring and beloved strip.
Was the only child of Carl and Dena Schulz of St. Paul, Minnesota. His father owned a barbershop in St. Paul. His mother died of cancer in 1943.
Attended Richards Gordon Elementary School and St. Paul Central High School. Later, he enrolled in an extension class for cartooning with the University of Minnesota.
"Li'l Folks" (later "Peanuts") originally ran in the women's section of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The four original "Peanuts" characters were Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Patty (not Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt), and Shermy.
His nickname, Sparky, comes from the horse in "Barney Google."
His studio in Santa Rosa was One Snoopy Place.
At the peak of his popularity, "Peanuts" captured as many as 355 million readers, and he was earning from US$30 to US$40 million a year.

Schulz liked to play hockey, which is why hockey and skating were occasionally featured in both the comic strip and the animated programs.
The never seen character of the "Little Red-Haired Girl" that Charlie Brown has a crush on was based on a girl Schulz knew in his youth, who turned him down when he asked her for a date.
Was struggling to come up with the name for a new character when he happened to see a bowl of candy, and decided on "Peppermint Patty."
He was promoted a couple of grades when he was in school, and this was the cause of his depression and anxiety; the older kids who were now his classmates were constantly teasing him because of his small size, which also fostered a deep competitive streak in him.
Prior to his health in decline, Schultz used to play in a senior men's hockey league.
Schulz was the grand marshal of the 1973 Rose Bowl Parade.
When Mad Magazine parodied Schulz's book, "Happiness is a Warm Puppy", with their article, "Being Rich is Better than a Warm Puppy", Schulz canceled his subscription.
No adults ever appeared in Peanuts with the exceptions of the last two Veterans Day strips in the series run, which were dedicated to his fellow infantry men.
When Schulz created his first black character, Franklin, in 1968, Time Magazine commented, "It is encouraging to see that even the world of Charlie Brown is not color-blind.".
Schulz was invited to appear at the 1989 San Diego Comic-Con, but declined at the last minute.
Schulz's father was a barber. He made a tribute to his father by having Charlie Brown's father be a barber, too.
In the early 1970s, Schulz had an extra-marital affair with an unnamed woman. He allegedly made a homage to the woman by having Snoopy begin seeing a female beagle with soft paws.
Contrary to popular belief, Schulz's chief character, Charlie Brown, is not bald. Schulz insisted that Charlie Brown's hair is blond, but the hair is so light that it is almost transparent.
In his youth was a huge fan of the "Amos and Andy" radio show.
Felt that Charlie Brown was the most difficult Peanuts character to draw.
Charlie Brown first appeared, though unnamed, in Schulz' "Lil Folks" and Saturday Evening Post cartoons in 1947.
His favorite movie was 公民凯恩 (1941). He incorporated many references to the film in his strips over the years.
60分钟 (1968) interviewed Schulz right before "Peanuts" ended its run. During the interview, Schulz noted that people often called him Sparky, but never Charlie.
Had an ice rink and a tennis court built a block away from his work studio in Santa Rosa, Calif.
Like his character Spike, Schulz lived for a time in Needles, Calif., when he was an infant.
A month after his death, the board of supervisors in Sonoma County, California (where Schulz had lived since 1969) voted to change the name of their commercial airport to "Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport" (baggage code STS). The airport added a statue of "World War I Flying Ace Snoopy" in 2007, and a statue of "World Traveler Lucy" in 2010.
In honor of his love of hockey, the board of supervisors in Ramsey County, Minnesota voted to change the name of the Highland Park Ice Arena in Saint Paul to the "Charles M. Schulz - Highland Arena" in 1998.
Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on June 28, 1996.
Following his death, he was interred at Pleasant Hills Cemetery in Sebastopol, Sonoma County, California.
