Sports were important to Schulz, and golf was one of his favorite games. He reported in 1967, “The things I like to do the best are drawing cartoons and hitting golf balls.”  From caddying at St. Paul’s Highland Park to his 35 years of play at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, from playing on his high school golf team to his late-in-life weekly foursome, Schulz not only enjoyed the game, but he excelled at it.  This exhibition features original Peanuts strips, photographs, memorabilia, and a video presentation in which Schulz talks about his love of the game.

From beatnik cool to the grunge movement, Schulz frequently referenced the latest trend, technology, and slang in Peanuts. Part of Schulz’s genius was his ability to adapt the latest American fad for his comic strip in a way that was both relevant and uniquely funny. Relive five decades of pop culture in Peanuts in this exhibition of 70 original strips.

From the richly detailed flora and fauna of Pogo’s Okefenokee Swamp to the minimalist surroundings of Peanuts, cartoonists have created unique environments in which their characters live, work, and play. Among the most memorable comic strip locales are Li’l Abner’s Dogpatch, Krazy Kat’s Coconino County, and Beetle Bailey’s Camp Swampy. This is the final exhibition in the Language of Lines trilogy, co-curated by cartoon historian Brian Walker.
