Exhibition : Baseball as Allegor

Allegory (noun): A Work In Which The Characters And Events Are To Be Understood As Representing Other Things And Symbolically Expressing A Deeper, Often Spiritual, Moral,or Political Meaning.

Schulz commented in an interview that when he created a sports-themed strip, he did not feel that it was dealing with sports. Instead, he said, “I use it as a springboard. Charlie Brown’s problems on the mound are emotional conflicts that everyone deals with.” Indeed, many important life themes—hope, perseverance, humiliation, and leadership—can be found disguised in the Gang’s often ill-fated baseball games.

Get beneath the surface of Schulz’s epic baseball strips in this exhibition featuring over 70 original Peanuts strips.
