INTRODUCTION

Pizza, doughnuts, pancakes, and ice cream:

Everyone loves these staples of the American diet, and Charles

M. Schulz was no exception. He saw the extraordinary comic

potential in the various and familiar situations we all encounter

relating to food, cooking, nutrition, and mealtime. Mixing

these moments with a twist of wit and just the right cast of

characters, Schulz developed the perfect recipe for laughter.

Family meals were an important part of Schulz’s day, and

as a father of five, his children’s mealtime antics sometimes

influenced the strip. Schulz also remembered how the

school lunch period could be a time not only for meaningful

conversations, but also for personal turmoil, which found its

way into Peanuts on several occasions.

For Snoopy, however,

suppertime was always

the best time of day.
