At age 17, Charles began studying art. He took a class by mail from a Minnesota art school. This was the only art education he ever had.
Then came World War Two. Mister Schulz served in the United States Army. During this period he very much enjoyed a comic strip about soldiers called "Willie and Joe." Cartoonist Bill Mauldin drew this strip.
