Daily Verse | 2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Tuesday’s Reading: 2 Corinthians 6-9

A bit lighter fare this morning. Always good to break from the overbearing presence of politics and find something to make you smile.

One of my favorite comics of all time is “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz, featuring Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and iconic moments in broadcast TV like A Charlie Brown Christmas or It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

This is the first Peanuts strip from October 2, 1950.

Charles Monroe Schulz, nicknamed “Sparky” by an uncle, was born November 26, 1922 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Originally called Lil’Folks, his comic strip was eventually picked up by United Feature Syndicate, who insisted it be called Peanuts.

In honor of his 100th birthday, over 90 syndicated cartoonists across the country paid tribute to Shulz in their own comic strips published November 26. As the Charles M. Shulz Museum proudly says, “Schulz is the only cartoonist ever to receive this honor—a fitting tribute for a man who devoted his entire life to cartooning.”

You can see all of the comics honoring Schulz at the museum link, but I pulled a few from some of the more popular strips you might recognize.

Enjoy!
