Charles M. Schulz, Creator Of Peanuts*, To Retire
December 14, 1999
Dear Readers, Colleagues, Fellow Cartoonists and Friends near and far:
I have always wanted to be a cartoonist, and I feel very blessed to have
been able to do what I love for almost 50 years. That all of you have
embraced Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus and all the other PEANUTS
characters has been a constant motivation for me.
It is important for me to tell you personally that I have decided to retire
from drawing the PEANUTS comic strip, effective with the daily release of
Tuesday, January 4th, 2000 (and Sunday release of February 13th), in order
to concentrate on my treatment for and recuperation from colon cancer.
Although I feel better following my recent surgery, I want to focus on
my health and my family without the worry of a daily deadline.
Thank you for your kindness and support over the years and for the outpouring
of good wishes since my surgery.
Sincerely,
Charles M. Schulz
大意是說，舒茲要來專心去養病了，謝謝大家的關心~~
