Good Grief! Charlie Brown's Creator Hospitalized
The cartoonist behind the beloved Peanuts comic strip is recovering in a Santa Rosa, California, hospital after undergoing emergency surgery for a blocked abdominal aorta Wednesday.
Kim Matheson, a Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital spokeswoman, says Schulz is "out of ICU today, progressing nicely and in stable condition."
A big change from Tuesday when emergency crews rushed the 76-year-old illustrator, who was complaining of leg pain and numbness, to the hospital, after an emergency call from his studio.
"He was transported Code Three," Susan Hart of American Medical Response, the ambulance company that picked Schulz up at his office, told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. "Code Three" meant his condition was unstable.
His wife, Jean Schulz, said he seemed in tip-top shape Tuesday morning when he left for work. Doctors say Schulz could be released in a week.
Schulz underwent quadruple-bypass surgery in 1981.
For the past 50 years, Schulz has single-handedly designed, researched, written, and drawn every panel and strip that appear in daily and Sunday newspapers around the world, according to his Website (www.peanuts.com). Charlie Brown and his round-headed friends, including Snoopy, Peppermint Patty and Woodstock, can be seen in 2,600 newspapers in 74 countries around the world.
They've also been the subjects of various books and recordings, a Broadway musical and, of course, such unforgettable TV movies as You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Schulz has taken home five Emmys, two Peabody Awards and the French Order of Arts and Letters for his efforts.
Peanuts syndicated United Media say there will be no interruption in newspaper comic strips.
If Schulz ever did decide to retire, however, the Peanuts crew would be sent packing, too. Schulz has a contract clause that states there is no Peanuts without Charles M. Schulz.
