Hiya,
Charles M. "Sparky" Schulz is my hero for cartooning, and I was introduced to Snoopy and the gang prior to the Muppets, really. Schulz is credited for my having created my character, Muley the Mule, and Henson is responsible (obviously) for all things I do with puppetry.
I figured this might be a good place to begin posting about Charles Schulz and/or the Peanuts characters.
The question I'm about to post came up recently in a different thread, but I forgot where it was. Tom (ChillyDown) and I were discussing it). It was regarding the new Christmas Special that was just shown on TV recently. The first is the email I sent Edna, the secretary of CMS, and her response.
Later,
FOZ

Hi,
Thanks for your e-mail -- glad you enjoyed the exhibit -- where was it?
In answer to your question re: future cartoons--The family has decided that
any future cartoons will be based solely on Mr. Schulz's comic strip.
Thanks for your interest and all best wishes,
Edna
