Charles Schulz, the artist and writer of Peanuts, became one of the wealthiest men in America by using his childhood insecurities and failures as material for his comic strip. Charlie Brown, the strips likable loser, shared more than a first name with his creator and was inspired by Schulz bittersweet memories of his Midwestern boyhood. Charles Monroe Schulz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During World War II, he served in the Army and was sent to Europe. Upon his return, he got a job with his old correspondence school and in his spare time, the determined Schulz sent gag cartoons to magazines, collecting a large quantity of rejection slips before he succeeded in selling a cartoon to The Saturday Evening Post in 1948. After repeated "mailbox rejections" he sold Peanuts to United Features. It went on to become the most widely read comic strip in the world, appearing daily in nearly 2,200 newspapers. It has inspired animated cartoons, a Broadway show, innumerable toys, and reprint books that have sold over 300 million copies. (AskArt)
