“Good grief!” I can’t believe that it’s been 60 years since “Peanuts,” the original cartoon turned comic, debuted. On Oct. 2, 1950, the world was introduced to Charlie Brown and the gang, a group of beloved characters who have made us laugh, think and appreciate life. Charles Schulz, the famed cartoonist who drew the popular comic, was a shy boy from Minnesota who loved to draw. After taking art correspondence courses and being drafted into the military, he took on a teaching job at Art Instruction, Inc. after discharge. The "Peanuts" comic strip was actually the development of combining elements from a previous cartoon, “Lil’ Folks.” "Peanuts" is one of the most popular comic strips of all time and is loved by millions. Here are just a few images of the "Peanuts" comic strip and Shultz. I personally never miss the "Peanuts" cartoons during the holidays, and I’m sure that you have your own personal tradition with this memorable and influential staple in art and entertainment history.
