He graduated from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.classmates.com\/places\/class\/Central-High-School\/3984?communityType=1&amp;year=1940&amp;?s=80640\">Central High School<\/a>, in St. Paul, MN, in 1940. He was a member of the yearbook staff at Central (although the drawings he created for the publication were rejected). Schulz, who had been interested in drawing since childhood, first began publishing a series of one-panel cartoons in 1947 (under the title <em>Li\u2019l Folks<\/em>). In 1950, another comic strip he had developed was first published, appearing in seven newspapers. This strip was given the name <em>Peanuts<\/em> by United Feature Syndicate (a name Schulz never actually liked). <em>Peanuts<\/em> ended up becoming arguably the most popular and influential comic strip in the world, published in 75 countries and 25 languages at its peak of popularity. Books, animated specials, and merchandise followed. <em>A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em> and <em>It\u2019s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown<\/em> are still aired on television every year. Schulz published <em>Peanuts<\/em> right up until his death, with the final strip he drew appearing in newspapers the very next day. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in June 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Schulz Cartoonist Birthdate: Nov 26, 1922 High School:Central High School Yearbooks:1940 Yearbook photos of Charles Schulz from Central High School Charles Monroe Schulz (November 26, 1922 \u2013 February 12, 2000) was a cartoonist.
