|creator=[[Charles M. Schulz]]

 

Schulz continued the strip for nearly 50 years, with no assistants, even in the lettering and coloring process. Starting in the 1980s his artistic line started to shake. This became more noticeable in the 1990s, along with his format change; depending on one's view, the art deteriorated at this point, especially where character expression was concerned, however this is highly subjective and difficult to estimate.

Schulz continued the strip until he was unable to, due to health reasons. He died the night before the final strip was published in newspapers. The final daily original ''Peanuts'' comic strip was published on [[January 3]], [[2000]]. The final original Sunday strip was published in newspapers a day after Schulz's death on [[February 12]]. Following its finish, many newspapers began reprinting older strips under the title ''Classic Peanuts''. Though it no longer maintains the "first billing" in as many newspapers as it enjoyed for much of its run, Peanuts remains one of the most popular and widely syndicated strips today, even after six years of reruns.

 

''Peanuts'' did not have a lead character from the onset. Its initial cast was small, featuring only [[Charlie Brown]], [[Shermy]], [[Patty (Peanuts)|Patty]] (not to be confused with [[Peppermint Patty]]), and a [[beagle]], [[Snoopy]]. The strip soon began to focus on Charlie Brown, though. Charlie Brown's main characteristic is his self-defeating stubbornness: he can never win a ballgame, but continues playing [[baseball]]; he can never fly a [[kite flying|kite]] successfully, but continues trying to fly his kite. Others see this as the character's admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds. Though his [[inferiority complex]] was evident from the start, in the earliest strips he also got in his own licks when socially sparring with Patty and Shermy. Some early strips also involved [[romantic love|romantic]] attractions between Charlie Brown and Patty or [[Violet (Peanuts)|Violet]], the next major character added to the strip.

 

 

As the years went by, Shermy and Patty appeared less often and were demoted to supporting roles, while new major characters were introduced. [[Schroeder (Peanuts)|Schroeder]], [[Lucy van Pelt]], and her brother [[Linus van Pelt|Linus]] debuted as very young children — Schroeder and Linus both in diapers and pre-verbal. Snoopy, who began as a more or less typical dog, soon started to verbalize his thoughts via [[thought bubble]]s; eventually he adopted other human characteristics such as walking on his hind legs, reading books, using a [[typewriter]], and participating in [[sports]].

At one point, a character named [[Charlotte Braun]] entered the cast. She resembled a female Charlie Brown in appearance but was louder and ruder than Lucy, and quickly proved to be unpopular. She did not appear in more than ten strips.

 

 

===Ages of the ''Peanuts'' characters===

 

==Legacy, influence, and critical acclaim==

''Peanuts'' is often regarded as one of the most influential and well-written comic strips of all time. Schulz received the [[National Cartoonist Society]] Humor Comic Strip Award for ''Peanuts'' in 1962, the Elzie Segar Award in 1980, the [[Reuben Award]] in 1955 and 1964, and the Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999. ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'' won a [[Peabody Award]] and an [[Emmy]]; ''Peanuts'' cartoon specials have received a total of 2 [[Peabody Awards]] and 4 [[Emmy Awards|Emmys]]. For his work on the strip, Charles Schulz is credited with a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] and a place in the William Randolph Hearst Cartoon Hall of Fame. ''Peanuts'' was featured on the cover of [[Time Magazine]] on [[April 9]], [[1965]].

 

 

==Religious themes==

''Peanuts'' touched on religious themes on many occasions, most notably the classic television special, ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'' in [[1965]], which features the character [[Linus van Pelt]] quoting the [[King James Version of the Bible]] (Luke 2:8-14) to explain to [[Charlie Brown]] "what [[Christmas]] is all about." In personal interviews Schulz mentioned that Linus represented his spiritual side. Schulz, reared in the [[Lutheran]] faith, had been active in the [[Church of God (Anderson)|Church of God]] as a young adult, and then later taught Sunday school at a [[United Methodist Church]].

 

*Although Charlie Brown's baseball team is often referred to as "win-less", it wins at least 10 games over the course of the series. <ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.apeanutscollectorclub.com/peantfaq.txt | title=Peanuts FAQ | accessdate=2006-10-01}}</ref>

*The black-and-white "communications helmets" that are worn as part of NASA [[spacesuits]], carrying radio earphones and microphones, are universally known as "Snoopy caps," due to the resemblance of the white center and black outer sections to Snoopy's head.

*Numerous parodies of the ''Peanuts'' gang have appeared, one of the most significant ones being a miniseries in an anthology comic called ''Deep Fried'', with a slightly extended 'director's edition' one shot comic book called [[Weapon Brown]].

*"[[Linus and Lucy]]" is the most famous piece of music from the series of TV specials.

 

==Books==

''Peanuts'' strips have been reprinted in many books over the years. Some represented chronological collections of strips, while others were thematic collections, such as ''Snoopy's Tennis Book''. Some single-story books were produced, such as ''Snoopy and the Red Baron.'' In addition, most of the ''Peanuts'' television animated specials were adapted into book form.
