As a youngster in the 80's who watched the news and read the Sunday paper, including the comics, I often had a hard time rationalizing why the man who drew the "Peanuts" comic strip was also continuously mentioned on the evening news as a ranking government official always talking about foreign policy.

Official means we have to exclude a few politicians over the years
