Schulz \u003c\/strong\u003ewas born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip \u003cem\u003eBarney Google\u003c\/em\u003e). His ambition from a young age was to be a cartoonist and his first success was selling 17 cartoons to the \u003cem\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/em\u003e between 1948 and 1950. He also sold a weekly comic feature called \u003cem\u003eLi'l Folks\u003c\/em\u003e to the local \u003cem\u003eSt. Paul Pioneer Press\u003c\/em\u003e. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates and in the spring of 1950, United Feature Syndicate expressed interest in \u003cem\u003eLi'l Folks\u003c\/em\u003e. They bought the strip, renaming it \u003cem\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/em\u003e, a title Schulz always loathed. The first \u003cem\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/em\u003e daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952. Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day-and the day before his last strip was published, having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand -- an unmatched achievement in comics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrudeau, Garry:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eGarretson Beekman Trudeau\u003c\/strong\u003e(born July 21, 1948) is an American cartoonist, best known for creating the \u003cem\u003eDoonesbury \u003c\/em\u003ecomic strip.
