'Charles Monroe Schulz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and grew up in Saint Paul. He was the only child of Carl Schulz, who was German, and Dena Halverson, who was Norwegian.[2] His uncle nicknamed him 'Sparky' after the horse Spark Plug in the Barney Google comic strip.
Schulz loved drawing and sometimes drew his family dog, Spike. Spike ate unusual things, like pins and tacks. Schulz drew a picture of Spike and sent it to Ripley's Believe It or Not! His drawing appeared in the comic published by Robert Ripley, captioned 'A hunting dog that eats pins, tacks, and razor blades is owned by C. F. Schulz, St. Paul, Minn.' and 'Drawn by 'Sparky''[3] (C.F. was his father, Carl Fred Schulz.)[4]
Schulz attended St. Paul's Richard Gordon Elementary School, where he skipped two half-grades. When he was in first grade, his mother helped him get valentines for everybody in his class, so that nobody would be offended by not getting one; but he felt too shy to put them in the box at the front of the classroom, so he took them all home again to his mother.
He became a shy timid teenager, perhaps as a result of being the youngest in his class at Central High School. One episode in his high school life was the rejection of his drawings by his high school yearbook.' Charles M.Schulz wiki
