Schulz (1922-2000) was also a thoughtful and precise prose writer who knew how to explain his craft in clear and engaging ways. \u003ci\u003eMy Life with Charlie Brown\u003c\/i\u003e brings together his major prose writings, many published here for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Schulz's autobiographical articles, book introductions, magazine pieces, lectures, and commentary elucidate his life and his art, and clarify themes of modern life, philosophy, and religion that are interwoven into his beloved, groundbreaking comic strip. Edited and with an introduction by comics scholar M. Thomas Inge, this volume will serve as the touchstone for Schulz's thoughts and convictions and as a wide-ranging, unique autobiography in the absence of a traditional, extended memoir. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Inge and the Schulz estate have chosen a number of illustrations to include. With the approval and cooperation of the Schulz family, Inge draws on the cartoonist's entire archives, papers, and correspondence to allow Schulz full voice to speak his mind. The project includes his comics criticism, his introductions to \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e volumes, his essays about philanthropy, his commentary on Christianity, his newspaper articles about the creation of his characters, and more. \u003ci\u003eMy Life with Charlie Brown\u003c\/i\u003e will reveal new dimensions of this legendary cartoonist.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutobiographical essays, introductions, articles, reviews, and lectures that tell the personal tale of the \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e creator and America's great comic strip\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles M.
