Dark Bilious Vapors

Len has graciously permitted me to post the DBV trivia questions this week.

I've been reading the The Complete Peanuts (1953-1954), so this week's trivia questions will be Peanuts-related.

1. Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts, was known to family and friends by a childhood nickname. What was this nickname, and what was its origin?
   
2. Charles Schulz always hated the title "Peanuts," which was given to the strip by United Features Syndicate. What was the strip originally called?
   
3. What does Charlie Brown's father do for a living?
   
4. Prior to its destruction in a doghouse-fire, Snoopy owned a painting by a famous artist. What artist was this?
   
5. Where was Snoopy born?
