Schulz discusses his 36-year career at length, tracing his early days at a St. Paul correspondence school, his first published work in THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, and how he invented the "very slight incident" format that revolutionized comic strips. He reflects on Peanuts' slow rise from seven papers to global phenomenon, the role of TV specials and licensing (which he insists came to him rather than being sought), and his strong opinions about poor draftsmanship in contemporary newspaper strips. He also mentions that heart surgery has left his hands somewhat shaky and that he is working on a new television project he hopes will be his "Citizen Kane."
