      TIL: in the 1950s Charles Schulz experimented with developing an adult comic strip about the gender dynamics among blue color workers when a woman becomes boss of the stock room.pic.twitter.com/fbiCUGpApc

      This strip shows that early on Schulz felt he was being constrained by kid-focus of "Peanuts." Of course, what he discovered was he could bring in all the adult concerns he wanted (depression, unrequited love) & still use kid characters.pic.twitter.com/vO2yfoRrVu

      Schulz is a good example of how narrowly political criteria are not useful for judging artists & their work. He was both very attracted to tough, butchy women & also scared of them. That made for personal unhappiness but also some great art.

          Was Schultz unhappy? He seemed to be living it up in Santa Rosa...

          His divorce in the early 1970s was very painful. And also the source of his best work.

          It's no secret that much of Lucy's in the '50s-'70s characterization was based off his relationship with his first wife.

          If you’re attracted to “tough, but hey women” but NOT afraid of them, you just ain’t quite right.

          This makes him sound like R Crumb.

          There's some similarity. Schulz admired Crumb.
