Drawn from the archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum, an in-depth look at Peanuts with a “wealth of original art” (The New York Times).

Charles M. Schulz believed that the key to cartooning was to eliminate the superfluous details and leave only what was necessary. For fifty years, from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000, Schulz wrote and illustrated Peanuts, the most popular and influential comic strip in the world.

In total, 17,897 comic strips were published, making it "arguably the longest story ever told by a single human being," according to Robert Thompson, professor of popular culture at Syracuse University. For Only What's Necessary: ​​Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts, renowned designer Chip Kidd gained unprecedented access to the extraordinary archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California. Reproducing the best of the Peanuts newspaper strip, all taken from the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear, Only What's Needed also features exclusive, rare, and never-before-seen original art and developmental work, much of which has never been seen before.
