Not letting illness cramp his style, famed cartoonist Charles M. Schulz made an encore appearance Thursday night at the ice arena he created and in the booth he has sat in nearly every day for more than a decade. He also was diagnosed with colon cancer.
Opening night is tonight.
Schulz and his wife, Jean, showed up at the beginning of Thursday night's performance and saw some of the opening number. The cartoonist then spent a short while in the coffee shop with a friend. The show on ice extravaganza features professional skaters from around the country.
