Charles Schulz Dies on Eve of Final ‘Peanuts’ Strip
(Reuters) - Charles M. Schulz, the creator of ‘Peanuts,’ a cartoon world of tiny angst-ridden stick figures and a bold beagle that captured the whole world’s fancy, died at his home in Santa Rosa, Calif., on Saturday night after a three-month battle with colon cancer that had forced him to give up drawing the strip

I am saddened beyond words.

Love is like popsicles…you get too much you get too high.
Not enough and you’re gonna die…

I know a lot of people have read Peanuts in their newspapers for the last 10 years or so and griped about the quality of the strip–myself included. Looking back, though, I now understand that while he may not have been able to deliver a laugh riot everyday, Charles Schultz was able to give us a glimpse into a world where security is as close as your favorite blanket, where a boy can face everyday failures with a sense of humor and irony, and where dogs can fly high over WWI Europe to battle the dreaded Red Baron.

My heart goes out to the Schultz family and to everyone who enjoyed Peanuts for all these years.

“It’s only common sense,
There are no accidents 'round here.”

When I first heard “Charles Shulz loses his battle with colon cancer,” I thought it was a mistake.

Wow, and I was enjoying the Peanuts marathon on television yesterday.

What I find somewhat remarkable is that he said ‘Peanuts’ was his life, and the day after the world sees his last one, he dies.
