There are four main characters in the strips : Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and Lucy.Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota（美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市）, Schulz developed a great love for drawing as a child. He always had a pen in his hand and liked to draw things that he saw around him like dogs, trees and houses. He often read newspaper comic strips with his dad. At the age of 15, the young boy published（出版) his first drawing, a picture of a dog that eats pins, tacks（大头钉）and razor blades（刀片）.Before starting Peanuts, Schulz had drawn a comic strips called Lil Folks（小家伙）. He tried to sell his work to large newspapers, but no one was interested in it. Schulz received “nothing but rejection slips（退稿附条）,” as he later noted. However, Schulz didnt give up and reworked Lil Folks into Peanuts. Soon the strip was published, and later appeared in newspapers all around the country and even the world.Though he was successful, Schulz was devoted to（献身于）the Peanuts strip, hardly taking a day off in his long career. He took only one vacation, a five-week break in late 1997, to celebrate his 75th birthday.Today, with his devotion and hard work, Charles M.
