Facts About Charles Schulz's Peanuts Comics

[@ERASEREPLACEPLACE]

You left out the great story of how Schulz received an angry racist letter demanding that he not show African-American Franklin in school with white children. Schulz, resentful of this, made sure Franklin was ALWAYS seen in school with white children.

[@cocoaorange1]

Way to go Charles Shultz.

[@roserandle6392]

Laud you Mr. Schultz for not backing down.

[@JANICEFALKNER-d2l]

Never Heard That , but it sounds just like something I’d do!!! That person was way outta line!!! When you get as 😂filthy rich as he is ,,, you’ve can give anyone & everyone if you want to the finger.

[@ERASEREPLACEPLACE]

I hear that In the book "Peanuts: The Golden years" the racist letter is actually printed and displayed.@@JANICEFALKNER-d2l

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

There was a short-lived character in the early years named Charlotte. She was so unpopular that Schulz dropped her as a character. Until recently, no strips featuring her were ever published in book form.

[@ryanwebb309]

In fact, as some dark humor, the letter that confirmed Charlotte's removal, which is now in the Library of Congress, featured Charlotte with an axe in her head!

[@christianlorre]

Although she does appear in the Peanuts smartphone game because they resorted to everything ever used in comics for character plots.

[@bethpoler2973]

A couple of my favorite characters were, snoopy, Woodstock, Pig Pen,Lucy & Charlie Brown.........Loved & enjoyed all of the characters.........Classic 🙂💜

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I love the Peanuts TV specials, but my favorite comic is Calvin & Hobbes!

[@alanr4447a]

Calvin & Hobbes was indeed wonderful, but owes its existence largely to the comics landscape shaped by its predecessors, most significantly Peanuts.

[@jons.6216]

Interesting that there were actually two "Pattys" in the strip over time! The first being the blonde girl that wore a plaid "ice cream cone" patterned dress and usually hung around with Violet. Then she seemed to be phased out and "Peppermint Patty" joined the cast, Charles Schultz telling that he got that name from a dish of candy in his home.

No matter what any one thinks about it, Peanuts is, in my opinion, one of the most abstract, important, underrated, and inherently derided comics in the history of the comic strip fandom.

I haven't seen this special in YEARS, so I can't remember how it happened, but......Charlie Brown can't resist going for the kick one last time. As he runs to kick the ball, unbeknownst to him, he slowly starts to rematerialize. Lucy sees this, pulls her usual stunt, and Charlie Brown realizes that all is back to normal.

It's never just "Charlie." It's always "Charlie Brown." It's never just "Patty," it's always "Peppermint Patty." Peppermint Patty and Marcie do not go to the same school as Charlie Brown.

about the last 10-15 yrs of the strip, frankly. it became tragically un-funny in its final years. still it is easily the greatest strip ever (followed not too far behind by Calvin and Hobbes).

[@timrobinson7373]

Most people forget at one time Schulz was going to get rid of Linus and Lucy in the strip (don't really know why) But it was a big deal and people got so upset that Schulz had to bring them back and keep them. It was I think the father found a new job out of town and they had to move but the world got so upset that Schulz had to bring them back and keep them. I think Schulz wanted to focus more on Charlie Brown and Snoopy not sure but glad they came back

There's a few factual errors in this video. Charles Schulz was not Charlie Brown. He specifically denied that in several interviews and stated that each character represents an aspect of his personality. He also made it clear that the strip was his creation and that he never implemented any suggestions into his strip, even warning people not to tell him suggestions if they ever wanted him to use them.

[@stephenkehl7158]

Charlie Brown and Snoopy have both officially been to the Moon! The callsign for the Apollo 10 command module, chosen by the crew, was Charlie Brown, and the lunar module was Snoopy. At first, NASA was not in favor of these designations, but eventually relented, recognizing the public relations bonanza it would generate. Schulz initially was reluctant, since Charlie Brown couldn’t even fly a kite, and he was fearful of jinxing the mission. He did give his blessing, though, and produced some mission-related artwork. The iconic communication caps all Apollo astronauts wore were nicknamed Snoopy caps, due to the resemblance they had to a certain beagle while wearing them.
