Chris Ware in "Chicago"

In this preview from the Chicago episode of Season 8 of Art in the Twenty-First Century, cartoonist Chris Ware considers his connection to old toys and comics.

“Peanuts is the point at which comics really became a medium of emotional connection to readers,” says the artist. “Charlie Brown is the first cartoon character for whom you really feel something. Not only do you feel through Charlie Brown, but you feel for him.”
