Still, Michaelis at times strains to make the birth and growth of the “Peanuts” gang a product of its creator’s biography and not his imagination. For example, Michaelis posits that Frieda May Rich, a friend of Schulz’s who was a dwarf, as one of the inspirations for the unusual body-to-head ratio in the cartoonist?...
