Episode 109 : "She can draw Snoopy, Jane's World, working with Sparky (Charles Schulz)"

Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma

She can DRAW Snoopy (and all the other Peanuts characters)!!! Trish interviews cartoonist Paige Braddock, the Chief Creative Officer of the Approvals Team at the Schulz Studio. She and her team oversee the art and editorial content for all Peanuts products around the globe. Paige says while she can draw all the Peanuts characters, the team usually pulls from Charles Schulz's work and modify it. She had the chance to work with him directly before he retired. Before signing on with the Schulz studio, she created a comic strip called "Jane's World," the first gay-themed comic work to receive online distribution by a national media syndicate in the United States. It was also Eisner nominated, which Paige says is kind of like being nominated for an Emmy. A few years ago, she wrote her first lesbian romance novel under a pen name. The two talk about all her avenues of art, how "Jane's World" started and ended, and Paige's new adventure, a kid series called "Peanut, Butter and Crackers," books about the adventures of a goofy puppy.
