The timeless messages of “Peanuts” are the reason it still runs in many newspapers, including The Press Democrat, a quarter century after Schulz’s death. He first lived in Sebastopol and moved to Santa Rosa in 1969. They gave 12 acres in Santa Rosa for the headquarters of Canine Companions for Independence. The group sold the paper in 2025, but not before The Press Democrat had won a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for its wildfire coverage. And Charles Schulz never stopped showing that life’s struggles become bearable when transformed into art and shared with others.
