Can't wait to hear Charlie Brown's mom talk again. That's all I heard when my mom talked, or the teachers in elementary school.

Definitely one of my favorite cartoons. Grew up with reading them and of course, the Christmas special year over year.

And this looks like they're doing a great job keeping with Peanuts spirit and style.

Here's my svo story......

When I was a kid, all that I wanted to be was a cartoonist. My favorite strip was Peanuts. I made my first book of cartoons and copyrighted the characters at 11. I sent a copy to Charles Schultz with a letter. Not long after, I got a letter back from him. My main characters name was Sparky Mouse. Come to find out, his nickname growing up was Sparky. The letter was just a few paragraphs, and came with a hand drawn (6x6) image of Linus holding his blanket with the caption "Hi Matt!".

We wrote back and forth a few more times, but it tapered off. Then, my junior year, we had to write a thesis about a famous person. I chose Charles Schultz. Part of a thesis is the research, and naming sources. I decided that I wanted to try and do an interview.

Charles Schultz, despite his fame, was a recluse. He didn't like traveling, and he didn't like the limelight. He was, however, listed in the phone book. So, I called his number at his office in Santa Rosa (Number One Snoopy Place). Two rings, and HE picks up the phone. It took me a few seconds to get composed , before I introduced myself. Then I mentioned that I had sent him some cartoons a long time ago, and that I really appreciated the drawing he sent.

Without missing a beat, he said "you sent me Sparky Mouse! I've still got it here on the shelf."

I managed to have a 10 minute conversation with him before letting him go. When I hung up, I just sat there. Kinda dazed really. Suffice to say, I was the only person in class that had "Interview" as a reference source.

I went on to have a comic strip in 6 newspapers in Arkansas during my senior year, and after. When the news came out that he was retiring, I decided to send him a congratulatory/thank you strip.

He died before I could send it.

Charles Schultz was one of the most humble individuals. His characters were extensions of his personality, none more so than Charlie Brown. In the pieces that we've see of this movie, I've seen that personality come to life again. I'm very happy with the attention to detail that the production team is putting into the nuances that make Peanuts what it is.

I can't wait.
