Charles M. Schulz's approach to cartooning was to take out the extraneous details and leave in only what's necessary. For fifty years, from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000, Schulz wrote and illustrated Peanuts, the single most popular and influential comic strip in the world. In all, 17,897 strips were published, making it "arguably the longest story ever told by one human being," according to Professor Robert Thompson. In Only What's Necessary: Charles M.

Produktbeschreibung
Charles M. Schulz's approach to cartooning was to take out the extraneous details and leave in only what's necessary. For fifty years, from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000, Schulz wrote and illustrated Peanuts, the single most popular and influential comic strip in the world. In all, 17,897 strips were published, making it "arguably the longest story ever told by one human being," according to Professor Robert Thompson. In Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and Peanuts, renowned designer Chip Kidd assembles the long-awaited follow-up to Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz, by focusing on Schulz's artistry-not the merchandise that was featured in his first book. Reproducing the best of the Peanuts newspaper strip, all shot off the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear, the book will feature ancillary images from the archives, including exclusive, rare and unpublished original art and developmental work-many never seen before their inclusion in this book. Timed for the 65th anniversary of Peanuts and the theatrical release of their first-ever 3-D CG-animated feature film, Only What's Necessary is sure to give Peanuts fans the world over a reason to celebrate.
Autorenporträt
Chip Kidd, geboren 1964, ist als Künstler auf vielen Gebieten tätig: als Designer, Musiker, Autor und Herausgeber. Seine Buchumschläge für den Verlag Knopf sind legendär und haben ihm zahlreiche Preise eingebracht.

Charles M. Schulz wurde 1922 in Minneapolis, USA geboren. 1950 zeichnete er den ersten Peanuts-Strip, der zunächst in 7 Tageszeitungen erschien. Richtig erfolgreich wurde die Serie Ende der 50er Jahre. Zeichentrickfilme und ein Broadway-Musical folgten. Als der vielfach preisgekrönte US-Amerikaner seine Arbeit Ende 1999 niederlegte, war "Peanuts" der erfolgreichste Comicstrip aller Zeiten. Charles M. Schulz starb am 12. Februar 2000. Einen Tag darauf erschien sein letzter Strip in den Sonntagszeitungen. Posthum wurde dem Zeichner der "Lifetime Achievement Award" verliehen.
