- Lecture: Gary Groth on Charles Schulz
Thursday, November 8, 2012
Gary Groth is former editor-in-chief of The Comics Journal, and owner and publisher of Fantagraphics Books. Fantagraphics, one of the respected "art house" publishers of comics and graphic novels in the country, is currently reprinting Charles Schulz's entire output in a series of handsome hardcovers. Groth met Charles Schulz several times, and in the 1980s conducted one of the most in-depth and valuable professional interviews we have with the artist. Cosponsored by the University of Oregon School of Journalism.
A truly great discussion.
I can't get over the change from the beginning to the end. Just blows me away!
My 5th grade teacher brought us from Albany Ca to Santa Rosa to meet him and ice skate at his RINK! So lucky! 1978!
With the exceptions of "Liberals vs. Conservatives", "H-bomb tests", and "new car", I remember every. single. one. of the strips you showed. My father had every book Schultz published; you see, the newspapers strips were printed in compilations in softcover each year, and my Dad eventually had them all. Plus limited "litho in USA" small books like "Happiness Is A Warm Puppy".
An interesting look at a great artist's mind state! Love the strips Groth shown earlier like Krazy Kat and Little Nemo :D
Love your presentation
a lecture for sure
Oh to be the one who could talk with Charles Schulz would've totally been a dream come true!
What would you want to say to him?
@@ElanaVital83 I'd ask what his childhood was like and also about his work before Peanuts came along.
@@madkittyjoey70 I'd think he'd say his childhood was okay but kind of lonely.
I'd ask him the secret of his self confidence. The dude knew he was good.
@@ElanaVital83 It was said in books that he went through a lot of times where he was melancholy. I wonder why since he was very successful and his family adored him.
@@madkittyjoey70 Who knows? Could've been just brain chemistry. I'm kind of moody myself and take magnesium to help it.
The early ones are awesome and the later ones are equally as funny.
His drawing style actually got worse in the later years of the strip. Compare 1950's Peanuts to 1980's Peanut's.
@@patrickmanway290 I disagree. I think it looked better and better. I like how the later ones sometimes have different sized panels.
@@icecreamhero2375 His line work got bad because of the arthritis in his hands. He couldn't draw smooth lines because his hand would shake.
@@patrickmanway290 I know but I still like the look.
@@icecreamhero2375 1950's, 1960s, are my favorite eras. The 70's too, to a degree.
I wish he would repeat the questions that we can't hear.
Yes. Either the host should repeat each question before answering (he must know he's being filmed) or give each person a mic as they ask a question. It's not difficult.
I think the Penuts seeies was among the first kid targetted series to address the topic of cancer.
Read S's own words in interviews and essays: he explains what he does better than anyone.
Genius
Gosh... you are so inanimate... it's Peanuts!!! For God sake....
