Growing up in Manhattan, the son of the dentist who invented tooth bonding, Smigel admits to being "a comedy bully." "I came up with funny things that caught on--nicknames and anthropomorphic cartoons and such," he says. "I genuinely liked the people I was making fun of; I just couldn't resist making fun of them.

Indeed, Charles Schulz was the first to graft existential adult thoughts into the adorable heads of babes and a beagle, and in the wake of his death some...

...father is a very successful dentist, and I wanted to be a dentist. Well, I didn't want to, but I had no concept that I would ever be able to make a living doing what I did in high school. So I actually worked hard in high school to get into a good school, and I got to Cornell and I was a pre-dental student. I just could not handle serious science courses. After a couple years of that I went to NYU, took communications, realized communications is a joke to take in college, so I did damage...
