A Brief History of PEANUTS™
Do you remember the first time you encountered Charlie Brown and his lovable beagle Snoopy™? Maybe you found them in the Sunday comics, or a parent or grandparent shared their favorite PEANUTS™ book with you. Perhaps you discovered the entire PEANUTS gang all at once starring in one of their now-classic holiday TV specials like “A Charlie Brown Christmas™” or “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown™”. No matter how you were first introduced to this endearing cast of characters, one thing is undeniable: they have touched the lives of generations and become woven into the very fabric of our culture. And to think, it all began with just four simple comic panels on October 2, 1950. The rest is history.
The premise of PEANUTS™ was simple: a round-headed boy, his pet dog, and their neighborhood friends navigating the complexities of childhood with surprising wisdom and humor. From Snoopy’s imaginative adventures atop his doghouse to Charlie Brown’s eternal optimism in the face of life’s disappointments, PEANUTS reminded us of the profound truths found in everyday moments. That might be why PEANUTS is as relevant today as it was seven and a half decades ago.
Charles M. Schulz’s PEANUTS has grown to become the most popular and influential comic strip in history. At its peak, the strip appeared in over 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries and was translated into 21 languages, reaching an estimated 355 million readers daily1. Schulz’s gentle insights into human nature, delivered through the innocent voices of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, and the gang, resonated with readers of all ages around the world.
The Bradford Exchange has long celebrated the enduring joy of PEANUTS with our wide selection of unique PEANUTS collectibles, PEANUTS jewelry, home decor, apparel and accessories, all officially licensed by Peanuts Worldwide LLC. To honor this incredible milestone, we’re showcasing some of our favorites. So, as you consider your fondest PEANUTS memories see if they all come rushing back with our Top 10 PEANUTS Collectibles and Jewelry: Celebrating 75 Years of Joy, Friendship and Fun.
