A Peanuts reader never knew who they might meet in Schulz's famous strip. Schulz shone the spot light on politicians, sports stars, actors, authors, scientists, and even his hockey playing buddy. In addition to original Peanuts strips, this exhibition also includes photographs of and correspondence with some of these famous folks. |

Meet Snoopy’s “band of brothers"—Spike, Marbles, Olaf, and Andy—and sister Belle in this exhibition of 70 original Peanuts strips. Spike and Belle debuted in the comic strip in the 1970s and are the most fully developed characters of all of Snoopy’s siblings. Marbles and Olaf were introduced in the 1980s, while Andy, the namesake of Schulz’s own beloved dog, didn’t make an appearance until 1994. |
