There Goes the Shutout is a collection
of Peanuts comic strips written and drawn by Charles M. Schulz. This
book includes cartoons the years 1952-56. These comic strips originally appeared in the smaller paperback
books More Peanuts and Good Grief, More Peanuts! All of the comic strips appear in black
and white. This collection doesn't contain any following storylines
because Charles M. Schulz didn't do story arcs in the early years of
Peanuts.
On October
2, 1950, Peanuts
debuted
in seven newspapers
and ran until January
3, 2000 when Charles M. Schulz bid a fond farewell to all his readers in
the final daily Peanuts newspaper strip. On February
12, 2000, Charles Schulz died on a Saturday evening, of complications
from colon cancer in Santa Rosa, CA. He was 77 years old. On February
13, 2000, the final Sunday Peanuts newspaper strip appeared. "Charles
M. Schulz
(b. 1922) is the most widely syndicated cartoonist in history, with his
work appearing in over 2,300 newspapers. He has published more than
1,400 books, won Peabody and Emmy awards for his animated specials, and
is responsible for the most-produced musical in the American theatre,
entitled "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown". And all this
diversity and recognition and continuous success began over
50
years ago." (Illustration
