Funny Things: A Comic Strip Biography of Charles M. Schultz Review

Funny Things: A Comic Strip Biography of Charles M. Schultz Review – Charles M. Schulz was arguably the most influential and popular cartoonist of the 20th century, and he poured many of his own emotions and experiences into the world of Peanuts over its iconic 50-year run.
