Peanuts in Comic Books

We've all heard from Charles Schulz that he never let anybody else do any of the work on his daily Peanuts comic strip...and that was true, at least insofar as the newspaper strip was concerned. But other hands did touch Charlie Brown and his friends in a different comics medium: that of comic books. Curious? Check out this article by FAQ-meister Derrick Bang.

Did you know...

...that Needles, California -- where Snoopy's brother, Spike, hangs his hat on the nearest cactus -- has two roads dubbed Spike's Road and Schulz Road, and that they intersect each other?

As you can see on this Mapquest close-up, East Spike's Road cuts off from Highway 95, which runs north/south and catches Interstate 40 in Needles. Head west and then southwest on East Spike's Road, and you'll reach Schulz Road; head west on that for a bit, and you'll come to West Spike's Road.

Needles itself, right on the California side of the border with Arizona, is midway along Interstate 40 between Barstow, California (roughly 140 miles to the west), and Flagstaff, Arizoa (roughly 200 miles east, although I-40 takes a northward jog along that route). Wave a cheery hello to Spike, when you see him ... and tell him we sent you!
