The birth centennial of beloved cartoonist Charles M. Schulz will be celebrated with 10 commemorative forever stamps picturing Charlie Brown and other memorable characters from his Peanuts cartoon strip. The stamps will be issued in a pane of 20 featuring a 1987 photograph of Schulz by Douglas Kirkland on a central label. “Each [Peanuts] character reflects Schulz's rich imagination and great humanity,” the Postal Service said in its press release for the new stamps. “His resonant stories found humor in life's painful realities including rejection, insecurity and unrequited love.” Schulz drew and wrote almost 18,000 original Peanuts strips, the last of which was published the day after his death on Feb. 12, 2000.
