We visited the Charles Schultz museum yesterday which told how the characters Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Lucy evolved and came be loved around the world.
It also shared how one of Schultz’s early mantras was “always have something in the mail working for you.” This proved helpful when his first cartoon – Lil Folks by Sparky – was cancelled by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Fortunately, Schultz had been sending out additional cartoons to newspaper syndicates and magazines which led to receiving a letter from the Saturday Evening Post and a purchase of one of his cartoons, which eventually became Peanuts.
“All life is an experiment,” observed Ralph Waldo Emerson. “The more experiments you make the better.”
Is there a project, initiative, or “experiment” you have thought about implementing, or sharing, but haven’t yet? Is 2024 your Charles Schultz year where you take the risk of “mailing” it and finding out?
