25 Years of Peanuts: The Life and Work of Charles Schulz

For 50 years, Charles Schulz told the story of a meek, nervous Charlie Brown and his young circle of friends, whose philosophical musings and complex humor captivated millions of readers. Peanuts is among the most popular and influential comic strips in history, helping to cement the four-panel gag strip as a standard, and Schulz remains one of the world’s most influential cartoonists. Join author and designer Chip Kidd, cartoonist Paige Braddock, and Abrams editorial director Charlie Kochman as they share their insights on Schulz’s life, work, and never-before-seen drawings from the recently published Only What’s Necessary 70th Anniversary Edition: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts.

Moderated by Charlie Kochman, editorial director at Abrams
