While best known as the creator of Peanuts, Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) was also a thoughtful and precise prose writer who knew how to explain his craft in clear and engaging ways. My Life with Charlie Brown brings together his major prose writings, many published here for the first time.
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.
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 Peanuts volumes, his essays about philanthropy, his commentary on Christianity, his newspaper articles about the creation of his characters, and more. My Life with Charlie Brown will reveal new dimensions of this legendary cartoonist.

My Life with Charlie Brown
This was a good one. I put it on so many shelves because Schulz devotes a fair amount of time to religion and sports. However, he also spends a decent amount of time on the creative process. For the most part this was enjoyable and thoughtful. It does, however, reflect his generational and personal biases. (The comments about much of the strip being about the suffering of young boys and that he didn't know as much about the suffering of young girls made me raise my eyebrows a little, because he had at least two daughters. And the part about Peppermint Patty's father tolerating her tomboyishness made me want to throw the book. I know, it's just a comic strip, I should really just relax.)
Because this is a collection of essays that were not originally intended to be printed together, there is some repetition. But in general, almost anyone should be able to appreciate this book, especially if they are or ever were a fan (casual or not) of Schulz's comic strip.
