I'm Not Your Sweet Baboo!
Went to Charles M. Schulz museum in Santa Rosa, California. As most cartoon museums do, they hang cartoon strips on the walls, exhibit art inspired by Peanuts and keep the office of the cartoonist like it was a shrine and nothing else much.
A lady there made sure she told us everything she knew about Schulz and his family and each time we'd say "Thanks" and made that classic body move of someone who wants to go on with the visit, she'd come up with some new anedocte until some other suckers, ahem, tourists drawed her attention. One of Schulz's daughters was on Ice Capades so I guess that's where the idea for "Snoopy on Ice" came from :-).
Highlight of the museum: Snoopy's doghouse wrapped by Christo.

And this post wouldn't be complete without this:
Which Peanuts character are you?
