[post_page_title]Leaving his mark[/post_page_title]
Amazingly. Charles always spoke about how his cartoon strips would continue to live after his passing as he would typically draw his creations man weeks in advance. Tragically, this was about to become the truth in 2000.
Charles has been battling cancer, but sadly passed away during his sleep. DHM Media made it their mission to own the Peanuts franchise, and eventually paid a whopping $345 million for 80% of the business. The sale went on to earn the late artist $34 million back in 2018.
