Charles M. Schulz Museum

Charles M. Schulz Museum Celebrating cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, creator of Snoopy & the PEANUTS gang!

📍50 miles north of San Francisco The Charles M.
(2362)

Schulz Museum and Research Center was designed to reflect the modest, low key, and comfortable personality and style of the internationally-famous cartoonist. Until his death in 2000, Charles “Sparky” Schulz himself was involved with each design stage. After his passing, his widow, Jean, along with close friends, family members, and museum and design professionals kept his vision in mind to create this beautiful and meaningful space as a tribute to an extraordinary man.

🕶️ It's ! Snoopy’s hippest alter ego, Joe Cool, debuted on this day in 1971!

In his trademark sunglasses, Joe Cool is the coolest of the cool, and he knows it. His confidence stands apart from the hallmark insecurity of almost every other character in Peanuts.

He is often found hanging out at the student union or the dorm and not worrying too much about his classwork. His interests include pizza, root beer, frisbee, and keeping up with the latest campus fads.

⁉️ TRIVIA! Charles Schulz said he got the idea for Snoopy’s Joe Cool persona after overhearing his teenage son Craig talking with his friends and describing someone as “a real Joe Cool.”

This Peanuts comic strip was published on May 29, 1971. (Visit our stories today to see Joe Cool’s debut comic strip.)

🎂 Happy Birthday, Sally!

Charlie Brown becomes a big brother when his little sister Sally Brown is born on this day in 1959, making Sally the first character whose birth is recorded in Peanuts (although she herself wouldn’t appear in the strip until a few months later on August 23, 1959).

Happy ! 🐈 The gray cat known as Faron debuted in Peanuts on this day in 1961!

Not to be confused with “The Cat Next Door,” Faron is Frieda’s cat who forever wants to be held. Snoopy refers to him as a “boneless cat” due to his perplexingly slinky body.

Faron’s time with the Peanuts gang was short-lived; he appeared in only 12 strips in 1961 before Charles M. Schulz decided he’d rather explore Snoopy’s imaginative life than the classic cat-and-dog dynamic.

🎶 TRIVIA! Faron’s namesake is the country singer Faron Young, whom Charles Schulz admired.

This Peanuts comic strip was published on May 25, 1961. (Visit our stories today to see Faron's debut comic strip.)

🚀🌎 The Schulz Museum had a very special visitor last week!⁠
⁠
At just 8 years old, Lucas Ye designed the zero-gravity indicator (ZGI) named “Rise” that was a part of this year’s historic NASA Artemis II mission.⁠
⁠
Recently, we were honored to host Lucas and his family for another historic moment—introducing Rise to the Snoopy Astronaut ZGI from Artemis I (donated by and , now in the Schulz Museum’s collection).⁠
⁠
Swipe to see highlights from their visit, including Jean Schulz gifting Lucas with a Snoopy Astronaut of his very own!
