For Immediate Release — September 23, 2011
The Flipside of Schulz’s Art: More than Peanuts
at the Charles M. Schulz Museum & Research Center
October 5, 2011 to January 29, 2012
A very self-satisfied Snoopy snuggles between the glamorous Brenda Starr and her mysterious
love interest, Basil St. John. In 1995 Charles Schulz constructed this tribute cartoon for cartoonist
Dale Messick, creator of the Brenda Starr comic strip, to celebrate her ninetieth birthday.
(Santa Rosa, CA) The Flipside of Schulz’s Art: More than Peanuts offers visitors a unique look at Schulz’s talents and his relationships beyond the Peanuts comic strip. The exhibition, running from October 5, 2011 to January 29, 2012, at the Charles M. Schulz Museum, features fifteen objects. The show highlights original artwork Schulz created for fans, friends, and family ranging from a tribute strip to Brenda Starr’s creator Dale Messick to a 1952 birthday card with a self- portrait of Schulz.
