What friends called the cartoonist Charles Shulz: "Jean Schulz, Charles' second wife, said she read about three-quarters of Mr. Michaelis's third draft. She didn't disagree that her husband, whom friends called Sparky, was 'melancholy,' but she said that was only part of the story: 'It’s not a full portrait. Sparky was so much more.
