He Gave Us A Great Ride

 Charles M. Schulz, who created one of the world’s best-loved comic strips—Peanuts —would have been 100 years old yesterday.

What would Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays have been like without the animated cartoons that featured Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty and all those other characters who were like kids we knew—or ourselves as kids—only more so.

Oh, and Schulz gave us one of my first heroes.

He’s still one of my heroes!
