The Resume

    (November 26, 1922-February 12, 2000)
    Nicknamed 'Sparky' by his uncle (after Sparkplug, a horse in the 'Barney Google' comic strip)
    Created the Peanuts cartoon characters
    Winner of 4 Emmys

Why he might be annoying:

    He suffered from depression.
    He submitted drawings to go into his school yearbook, all of which were rejected.
    A newspaper gave his comic strip the name 'Peanuts,' a name he never liked (October 2, 1950).
    He divorced his wife after 21 years of marriage and five children (1951-72). He remarried a year later.
    He's sold rights to use his 'Peanuts' characters in advertising, including Kodak, Hallmark, Ford, Wonder Bread and Metropolitan Life Insurance.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served as a machine-gun squad leader in Germany, France and Austria during World War II.
    'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' became the most-produced musical in American history.
    He died from prostate cancer one day before the final Sunday 'Peanuts' comic strip appeared in newspapers (February 12-13, 2000).
