The strip in question was chosen deliberately in hopes of demonstrating the evolution of the (arguably) most beloved characters - Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Schulz put a little bit of himself into every character, and we all relate to at least one of them - whether it’s the innocent and gullible Charlie Brown or Peppermint Patty because she’s good at sports.” “People from all over the world love and know and understand Snoopy. “The comic strip and Peanuts in general are such an accessible and universal topic,” she continues. We try to do our best with accessibility at the museum.”

“As I understand it, often people with disabilities are told that they’re too expensive, that it’s too much trouble or effort to take on a project like this,” says Hernandez. The museum’s School and Youth Programs Coordinator Monica Hernandez initiated the collaboration after learning more about museum accessibility while studying at SF State, and to prepare for the museum’s second Accessible Tours Day, which will be held on September 23, 2018. Just this month, the LightHouse MAD Lab worked with the Schulz Museum to create a tactile representation of a four-panel Peanuts strip first published on July 31, 1951. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa remains dedicated to making Peanuts accessible to all - including the blind and low vision community. It’s for its universality and renown that the Charles M. It is, fundamentally, a story of a dream not quite achieved - and how, even so, another day will come to pass.

Peanuts is universally human in its sarcastic, nostalgic, bittersweet, silly, realist and occasionally fanciful humor. By the time Peanuts’ creator Charles Schulz retired in December 1999, the comic strip had run for 50 years and been syndicated in over 2,600 newspapers worldwide, with book collections translated into more than 25 languages. Charlie Brown and Snoopy are some of the most well-known characters of all time.
