Peanuts comic strip turns fifty with Schultz’s legacy
October 1950 marked the first Peanuts strip by Charles Schulz who drew weekly daily editions until his 2000 death. The piece notes the black and white to colorized legacy, the characters Charlie Brown Lucy Linus Peppermint Patty Sally and Snoopy, and Schulz’s critique of organized religion through Linus. It ends with a call for faith communities to heed his quiet social commentary.
