This year Thanksgiving Day is on November 26th. This date is also the birthday of Charles M. Schulz, the cartoonist who created the comic strip PEANUTS, publishing it from 1950 through February 2000. “Sparky,” as he was called, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on November 26, 1922, and lived several decades in Santa Rosa, California … More Thanksgiving this year is Peanuts Day. I mean, it is Charles M. Schulz Birthday!
