    I was just thinking how fascinating it would have been to film Charles Schultz and Fred Rogers in a coffee shop, having an adult discussion about life. Each of them were far more insightful than the works they were known for.

    If you look up "Cher on The Mike Douglas Show (28 Feb 1979)" here on youtube, they were both guests on that episode. There are scenes of the two of them sitting next to each other. About as close as you'll get. Not much interaction tho.

    He had suffered great loss in his life. During WW2, he had to ship out to Europe while his mother was dying of cancer. They said their farewell before he left for the war; he knowing he would never see her again and she died not knowing if her son would survive the war Things like that either turns a man mean and callous, or into a thoughtful compassionate human being.

    @@lewisc215 I feel as if, Charlie Brown losing all the time is a funny concept, and it makes sense. Having him win would be a disservice to his character. But after 50 years of trying and failing, seeing him fail over and over, him being established as the world-wide loser. I think satisfaction would have been a stronger emotion than laughter for a final strip

    Schulz did remark back in 1999 in one of his final interviews a sense of sadness that Charlie Brown never did kick that football in the comic strip. He said it would have been a disservice to his loyal readers to have given Charlie Brown that victory at the very end. “And all of a sudden, I thought: You know, that poor kid, he never even got to kick the football. What a dirty trick.” Charles M. Schulz Having said that, Charlie Brown DID get one up on Lucy in the TV special “It’s Magic, Charlie Brown” when he finally kicked Lucy’s football out her hands MANY TIMES much to Charlie Brown’s delight & Lucy’s bewilderment but that was only because Snoopy had made Charlie Brown invisible while performing a magic trick! (The TV specials and movies have always been their own thing and was not considered part of the comic strip canon.)

    This is an amazing interview with the creator of the best comic strip on the planet. I have no idea why so few people have bumped into this video. Truly the highlight is at 14.30 when Schulz spontaneously draws Snoopy - absolutely mind-boggling. Fortunately, in contrast to many hosts, Cavett actually lets his guest speak, instead of interrupting him all the time and/or listening to himself.- PS: Since they wonder about the names of the Peanuts characters in other countries: I am happy to say that here in Germany they have all retained their original names. Thank you pianopappy for this video - it's a gift.

    Funny how Schulz didn't like the title of "Peanuts". From his perspective, I can understand - it relates to nothing in the strip. But from a reader's perspective, it's great, being short and memorable.
