I minused a star 'cause Bill Melendez is a tag, and it irks me how often he's wrongly cited as the creative intellect behind these cartoons.
In fact, Schulz and the executive producer Lee Mendelson made most of the creative decisions on those cartoons, including the script, the hiring of Vince Guaraldi, and the hiring of real kids to voice the characters. Bill Melendez didn't really do a whole lot except time it out (the timing is pretty lackadaisical, you'll notice) and make a load of drawings based as closely as possible on Schulz' drawings. Wes Anderson and Wikipedia are wrong!
