Hi, all! I hope you are recovering from your Thanksgiving feasts if you celebrate! Today, Saturday, November 26, is a very important day for comics history: the 100th birthday of Charles “Sparky” Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, one of the most beloved comic strips of all time. Usually, we only post about birthdays related to King Features comics, but Mr. Schulz was such an inspiration and good friend to so many of our cartoonists and had so much influence on the direction of not just comics but pop culture in the 20th century that we wanted to celebrate his legacy. Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS, spearheaded this project in collaboration with the Charles M. Schulz Museum to celebrate this special birthday! As you look around Comics Kingdom today, you will see many of cartoonists have contributed to this celebration by honoring Mr. Schulz in their comic strips. Here is a collection where you can see them all together!

The world needs so many things right now, but if you’re like most folks, a smile or a good laugh can go a long way in the mood department. I mean, just imagine if humor had to go into quarantine. Would you miss it? I’d miss it after an hour, let alone 14 days! I don’t want to seem as though I’m not taking the pandemic seriously. I am. People all over the world are feeling the sting of having their lives abruptly up-ended. Or worse. I won’t even go into the sickness, the loss of human life— you can get that info from the news. What I can say is this: with plenty of bad news to ramp up our collective anxiety, it’s really important to keep our minds healthy, and our spirits alive. Humor helps. A lot. There’s even science to back it up!  (I wish this particular bit of science was there for me when — many, many years ago— I’d get kicked out of class for laughing and drawing funny pictures.) Ah, well. Oh, and a note about subject matter. As you may know, our daily […]
