Snoopy!! How terrible he is as a writer but still thinks he had written a masterpiece, If you're familiar with Peanuts and how 'good' his writing is, you'd read this expecting for bad writing and laugh it off, But if you're not, don't jump in with this book, I won't recommend because you'll miss all the jokes about it, . . a book of puns and witticism of His Audacity Snoopy who aspires to be a writer sometimes under the direction of the wise Woodstock and under intense criticism of Her Harshness Lucy.
about a dozen years after i got it i finally "got" it so tragically funny, This is absolutely stellar. If he had been writing now, I'm pretty sure Snoopy could have gotten published in a lot of good online lit mags at least.
This feels like a sad collection of puns and groaninducing wordplay assembled from Charles M, Schulz's wastebasket. I mean, it's Snoopy, how many did you think I would give it Literary dogs are rare and wonderful, and so is this book.

The strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time, He also had a short lived sports oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game, but he abandoned it due to the demands of the successful Peanuts.
Fromtohe contributed a single panel strip "Young Pillars" featuring teenagers to Youth, a publication associated with the Church of God, Peanuts ran for nearlyyears, almost without interruption during the life of the strip, Schulz took only one vacation, a five week break in late.
At its peak, Peanuts appeared in than,newspapers incountries, Schulz stated that his routine every morning consisted of eating a jelly donut and sitting down to write the day's strip, After coming up with an idea which he said could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, he began drawing it, which took about an hour for dailies and three hours for Sunday strips.
He stubbornly refused to hire an inker or letterer, saying that "it would be equivalent to a golfer hiring a man to make his putts for him.
" In NovemberSchulz suffered a stroke, and later it was discovered that he had colon cancer that had metastasized, Because of the chemotherapy and the fact he could not read or see clearly, he announced his retirement on December,, Schulz often touched on religious themes in his work, including the classic television cartoon, A Charlie Brown Christmas, which features the character Linus van Pelt quoting the King James Version of the Bible Luke:to explain "what Christmas is all about.

From the lates, however, Schulz described himself in interviews as a "secular humanist": “I do not go to church any I guess you might say I've come around to secular humanism, an obligation I believe all humans have to others and the world we live in.
