Is “Peanuts” Creator Charles M. Schulz in the U.S. Hockey HOF?

If you think you're an aficionado of Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang, you may want to check this out! Over the career of Charles M. Schulz, he did more than 70 comic strips that featured hockey and ice-skating, and he's in both Hall of Fames.

Here's some more interesting facts:

He didn't name Charlie Brown "Charlie" after himself. He named him after a guy he worked with whose name was Charlie Brown, and that's where it came from.

The comic strip was originally called "Li'l Folks", but the company that syndicated it didn't like the name. So they changed it to "Peanuts", which was supposed to be a reference to the term "peanut gallery". And Schulz hated it.

He did an early drawing of Snoopy for his high school yearbook, but they rejected it. But now they have a statue of the lovable Beagle in his school.

It was revealed in a 1972 comic strip that Peppermint Patty's real name is Patty Reichardt.
