In 1975, he was a feature writer for the newspaper. For many years, Peanuts was also published in the Daily Mail and so, when Charles M. Schulz visited London in the mid-1970s, the Mail arranged for him to be interviewed and the assignment was handed to Shaun. The interview was conducted in a suite at the Hilton Hotel. in London and my father recalls Schulz being charming company. He also remembers Schulz talking about being a machine gunner in the Second World War. At the end of the interview, my dada explained that his 12-year-old son (me) was a huge fan of the cartoon strip and, producing a recent book, asked Schulz if he would autograph it. The great man not only obliged but drew a Snoopy too."
