1. St Paul -- Charles Schulz
   Put away the worries that this year's "Charlie Brown Around Town" public art project in St. Paul would be too much of a good thing. Last year's "Peanuts on Parade" doesn't seem to have dampened any enthusiasm for this summer's reprise. When it comes to the nation's -- heck, the world's -- love affair with the "Peanuts" gang and its creator, Charles Schulz, the public's appetite seems insatiable.
2. For the Love Of -- Charles Schulz
   The original off-Broadway soundtrack of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," out of print for several years, was re-released last month. The new recording features four never-before-released tracks from the original demo tape Gesner sent to "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz.
3. A Christmas Carol -- Charles Dickens
   Why Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” the classic morality tale about the positive transformation of a man, should be performed only at Christmastime is a question for another time. This version of the play, staged by Sundog Theatre, is both the definitive story you may remember, right down to the original, word-for-word dialogue, and something entirely new.
4. Flag Day -- America
   Just in time for Flag Day, the 14th of June, and the Fourth of July is the release of this American history-themed DVD collection of Peanuts animated episodes. Creator Charles Schulz always had a hand in each show, so the stories are humorous and simplistic, but fact-based, portrayals of these events that young and old can enjoy.
5. Charlie Brown -- Snoopys
   Snoopy and Charlie Brown are on their way across the country. The Charles Schulz characters once graced a wall of a Colorado Springs home. The wall is now on its way to a museum in Santa Rosa, California. It's all thanks to a local couple, whose dream, like Schulz, is to make people smile.
6. Lucy -- United States
   "Lucy is as important today as she was 30-plus years ago," says Penn State anthropologist Nina Jablonski. "Before Lucy, we really had no idea that 'early' hominids were small and very apelike in most attributes. Paleoanthropology has never been the same."
7. Charlie Brown
   Put away the worries that this year's "Charlie Brown Around Town" public art project in St. Paul would be too much of a good thing. Last year's "Peanuts on Parade" doesn't seem to have dampened any enthusiasm for this summer's reprise. When it comes to the nation's -- heck, the world's -- love affair with the "Peanuts" gang and its creator, Charles Schulz, the public's appetite seems insatiable.
8. Zits -- Jerry Scott
   When contemplating what to name their strip, Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman sought the insight of Charles Schulz, who told them that Zits was "the worst name for a comic strip since Peanuts." It makes perfect sense then that Zits has achieved Peanuts-like notoriety.
9. Cartoons -- United States
   On 6 January 2006, the Regional Public Prosecutor in Viborg discontinued the investigation as he found no basis for concluding that the cartoons constituted a criminal offence. His reason is based on his finding that the article concerns a subject of public interest and, further, on Danish case law which extends editorial freedom to journalists when it comes to a subject of public interest. He stated that, in assessing what constitutes an offence, the right to freedom of speech must be taken into consideration. He stated that the right to freedom of speech must be exercised with the necessary respect for other human rights, including the right to protection against discrimination, insult and degradation, but no apparent violation of the law had occurred.[25] In a new hearing, the Director of Public Prosecutors in Denmark agreed.[29]
10. Snoopy -- Charlie Brown
    Cartoon beagle Snoopy is a sidekick/star of the long-running newspaper comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles Schulz. Snoopy was the oddball, manic pet of lovable loser Charlie Brown. Originally a minor figure, Snoopy grew to become the strip's best-known character. His quirks were famous: sleeping on top of his doghouse, pretending he was a WWI airplane pilot or Foreign Legionnaire (in costume), showing the ropes to his bird friend, Woodstock, and even playing shortstop on Charlie Brown's sandlot baseball team. Snoopy appeared in Peanuts comic strips from 1950 until Schulz's retirement (and death) in February of 2000, and now appears in rerun strips in hundreds of newspapers.
