19. Charles Schulz

Charles Schulz is the guy behind one of true American classics – the comic strip Peanuts which has changed modern cartoon art and which has been so influential that it is impossible to even grasp the effects it has had on, not only cartoons, but the entire American culture.

To attempt to list all the awards that Peanuts has taken home in the years Schulz drew it would be an exercise in futility, as would be attempting to trace all of the works of art that were influenced by the clean drawing and the emotional honesty of his work.

Schulz was born in Minneapolis and he grew up in Saint Paul. With German and Norwegian ancestry, he is the prototypical Minnesotan and someone people of Minnesota are very proud of.
