Introduction to Peanuts

On October 2, 1950 the Peanuts newspaper strip first appeared. It was carried in only seven newspapers.

On January 3, 2000 Charles Schulz bid farewell to all his readers in the final daily Peanuts newspaper strip. On February 12, 2000 Charles Schulz passed away in Santa Rosa, CA at the age of 77 years. The next day the final Sunday Peanuts newspaper strip appeared.

In between, along with thousands of newspaper strips there were greeting cards, books, toys, TV specials, Christmas ornaments, dishes, drinking glasses, clothing, computer games and countless other items.
