RIP: Mira Furlan and Hank Aaron
Jan. 22nd, 2021 12:10 pmI only saw Mrs. Furlan in person once, at San Diego, just as Babylon 5 was getting going. And that, from across a standing-room only hall. Her work on-screen was nonetheless stellar, in the best sense, in the role of Delenn.
I never got to see Mr. Aaron, but I read the Peanuts strip with Snoopy standing in for Mr. Aaron, taking his own share of hate mail as a fictional beagle on his own quest to break Babe Ruth's record, and later learned the fuller story. Mr. Schulz was clearly a fan of Mr. Aaron, from what I saw in print.
Two people worthy of respect. Now both gone.

COMICS: On this day in 1950...

A first on Dreamwidth?
Jan. 2nd, 2017 08:09 amIt seems that I am the first Dreamwidth user to admit to being interested in the works of Charles Schulz in the Interests section of their profile page.
I can't be the only user who's enjoyed his work, surely?

Peanuts: Should I be pleased or scared?
Mar. 18th, 2014 08:00 pmBecause there's this other thing that's been announced today...and I'm not sure what I make of it.

Today was his birthday.
Thanks again, sir.

Speaking of celebrations of Schulz Day?

james_nicoll reminded me of the launch of Curiosity this morning.Thinking back to Apollo X and the "Snoopy Visits the Moon" arc in Peanuts back in those days, it's a nice - accidentally timed, but who cares about that detail? - way of paying it forward to future generations of space explorers and cartoonists alike.
Best of luck to the Curiosity team!
Happy Schulz Day!
Nov. 26th, 2011 10:40 amI've been reminded that today in 1922 was the date of Charles "Sparky" Schulz' birth.
Whatever the security blanket of your choosing, I wish you well.

Getting Used to It
Dec. 18th, 2010 09:03 pmJohn Gushue found a bit of Charles Schulz' wisdom recently. Go have a look.
Not sure that I've mastered that secret yet myself.

While I was drawing last weekend...
Aug. 24th, 2007 08:59 pm...i happened to take a break or two along the way, and thanks to the Newsarama Blog, I found a link to this little item: an interview with Charles Schulz.
Perhaps, not so incidentally, I found something at Perfect Books whilst shopping for this and that downtown over the course of that weekend that Mr. Schulz almost certainly must've had in his personal library: a book by one of his professional role-models, Bill Mauldin, entitled Up Front. Regrettably, I was either fool enough or broke enough to not immediately buy that book, but it seems to me like something anyone who enjoys Mr. Schulz' work ought to be adding to their own collection.
