 MAY 14 THROUGH NOVEMBER 3, 2008
New Exhibition|Baseball as Allegory
Schulz commented in an interview that when he created a sports-themed strip, he did not feel that it was dealing with sports. Instead, he said, “I use it as a springboard." Indeed, many important life themes—hope, perseverance, humiliation, and leadership—can be found disguised in the Gang’s often ill-fated baseball games.
