Episode Introduction

Welcome to a new episode of Audio Signals with Marco, where today's narrative takes us behind the scenes of a cultural phenomenon – the Peanuts! In this episode, I am thrilled to introduce you to Justin Thompson, a name you may not immediately know, but whose artistry is deeply entwined with a beloved part of our collective childhood. As a Senior Artist at Charles Schultz Creative Associates, Justin's journey in the art realm is as captivating as it is singular.

Our conversation delved deep into his evolution in the world of art, tracing his roots from an aspiring actor to an illustrator passionately dedicated to storytelling and comic strips. We explored the enchanting essence of Charles Schultz's characters and how their subtleties resonate across cultures worldwide. Justin's shift from pursuing personal artistic endeavors to becoming an integral part of the Peanuts legacy is a story of inspiration and transformation.

We also ventured into discussions about current trends in art and education, where Justin shared his perspectives and experiences, with technology and his new adventure as a mentor for young kids in Tanzania. His insights on these topics are sharp, revealing, and filled with wisdom gained from a rich career.

Moreover, Justin opened up about his ongoing personal comic project, offering a sneak peek that comic enthusiasts won't want to miss. So, if you're a fan of the Peanuts, cherish creativity, or relish extraordinary life journeys, this conversation with Justin Thompson is tailored for you. His tale is a powerful ode to dedication, artistic ingenuity, and the timeless appeal of classic comic storytelling.

He will be back for another episode, or more… YES!

November 2022 would have been the 100-birthday of Charles Schulz.  To wrap up the second year of No Cure for Curiosity, we were curious about Schulz and his strip, Peanuts with Rob Stolzer, Professor of Art, and Neil Prendergast, U.S. Historian, from UWSP.

What made Peanuts such an iconic comic strip in the second half of the 20th century?  What is Peanuts' vision of mid-century America?  And why did NBC think that "A Charlie Brown Christmas Special" was going to be a disaster?

If you want to learn more from Rob Stolzer, check out his websites devoted to art, comic art, and illustration:

• Rob Stolzer’s General Art Website: http://www.robstolzer.com
•  Ink-Slinger’s Blog: https://inkslingers.ink
•  The Art and Life of Gregor Duncan: https://gregorduncan.org
•  Russell Johnson & Mister Oswald Website: https://misteroswald.com

Please rate and review No Cure for Curiosity in your favorite podcast app. And tell your friends who might also enjoy No Cure for Curiosity! It helps other people find the show. And continue the conversation on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/NoCureforCuriosityPodcast.

Our intro music was written by UWSP music student Derek Carden and our logo is by artist and graphic designer Ryan Dreimiller.
