Peanuts

Peanuts was a syndicated daily comic strip written and drawn by American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, which ran from October 2, 1950 to February 13, 2000. The strip was one of the most popular in the history of the medium. At its peak, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 40 languages. It helped to cement the four-panel gag strip as the standard in the United States. Reprints of the strip are still syndicated and run in many newspapers.

Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Schulz lived and worked for almost 50 years in Santa Rosa, California (Sonoma County). The Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa celebrates his life's work and art of cartooning. In 2000, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors rechristened the "Sonoma County - Charles M. Schulz Airport" in his honor. The airport's amusing logo features Snoopy in goggles and scarf, taking to the skies on top of his red doghouse. A bronze statue of Charlie Brown and Snoopy stands in Depot Park in downtown Santa Rosa.
