Join the Bossard Memorial Library as they host a portrayal of cartoonist Charles Schulz, the man behind the Peanuts!

An Afternoon with Peanuts Creator Charles Schulz.

Join us on Sunday, September 14 at 1:30 PM as James Froemel portrays cartoonist Charles Schulz.

Charles Schulz was a cartoonist best known as the creator of the Peanuts comic strip that featured Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and all the rest of the gang.

A veteran of World War II, Schulz's first Peanuts strip was published in 1950 in seven newspapers. At the time of his death in 2000, it was appearing in 2,600 papers around the world.

Schulz recognized that comics were not just a medium for children. His ability to connect with people through a four-panel strip using dry humor, sarcasm, wit, and melancholy resulted in an ongoing daily narrative that lasted nearly 50 years.

The popularity of his characters worldwide put them in demand for television specials, merchandise, movies, books, theatrical productions, and commercials, as well as a NASA spacecraft named in their honor.

James Froemel is a three-time winner of the West Virginia's Biggest Liar competition. He has been featured in storytelling performances at schools and festivals across the state. Froemel has been featured in Goldenseal magazine and West Virginia Living. A graduate of WVU, Mr. Froemel holds a bachelor's degree in acting.

Light refreshments of pretzels, jelly beans, popcorn and more will be served in honor of Snoopy's traditional Thanksgiving feast.

Attendees will be eligible to enter into a drawing for a copy of the October 2025 book release entitled:
The Essential Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz: The Greatest Comic Strip of All Time

This event is free and open to the public.
