![]() My husband and I enjoyed strolling through the museum and gift shop. But the museum, guest shop and ice rink where are all still standing. This includes the actual home of Charles Schulz, unfortunately. Santa RosaĪs many of you know, Santa Rosa recently suffered catastrophic wildfires that wiped out homes, buildings and property. Also, you could see how Charles Schulz thought out his comic strips and and executed the drawings in a large format that was then scaled down to fit into the Funnies section of newspapers across the nation. It was fun going into the museum and finding out this history of my namesake. As the comic strip evolved, Lucy became an embodiment of both Patty and Violet, who sort of faded into the background and were no longer central to the strip. ![]() She and another character called “Violet” used to gang up on poor Charlie Brown. Patty wore a ribbon in her hair that matched her dress. Not Peppermint Patty, who came later, but Patty, one of the first characters penned by Charles “Sparky” Schulz. When I grew older, I found out I had been named after one of the Peanuts characters, Patty. I had five siblings and we all loved reading the Funnies. It’s the home of the Peanuts characters.Īs a child I remember vying for the “Funnies” section of the morning newspaper once Dad had finished reading it. If you ever travel to Santa Rosa – perhaps because Sonoma produces some of the world’s greatest wines – be sure to check out the Charles Schulz Museum. ![]()
