In all; 17;897 strips were published; making it ldquo;arguably the longest story ever told by one human being;rdquo; according to Robert Thompson; professor of popular culture at Syracuse University. For Only Whatrsquo;s Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts; renowned designer Chip Kidd was granted 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 shot from the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear; Only Whatrsquo;s Necessary also features exclusive; rare; and unpublished original art and developmental workmdash;much of which has never been seen before.
