Charles Monroe "Sparky" Schulz November 26, 1922 – February 12, 2000) was an American cartoonist and the creator of the comic strip Peanuts, featuring his two best-known characters, Charlie Brown and Snoopy. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential cartoonists in history. Many cartoonists, including Jim Davis, Murray Ball, Bill Watterson, Matt Groening, and Dav Pilkey, cite him as a significant influence.
When Schulz was 15, he published his first drawing, a picture of his dog, which inspired Snoopy. Following his high school graduation in 1940, he worked odd jobs and submitted cartoons for magazine publication.
Schulz, the son of a barber, studied cartooning in an art correspondence school after graduating 1940 from high school. He served in the army from 1943 to 1945 and returned first as an instructor at the art school and then as a freelance cartoonist with the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Saturday Evening Post (1948–49). He created the Peanuts strip.
