THE POWER OF PEANUTS
    PEANUTS is one of the most beloved entertainment brands of all time. What began in the funny pages in 1950 has developed into an enduring classic. The tales of Linus, Lucy, Snoopy, Good Ol’ Charlie Brown, and the rest of the PEANUTS gang reach fans through a variety of media including newspapers, TV, home video, theater, the internet, wireless, video games, music, and books. Over 18,000 comic strips celebrate numerous themes (holidays, school days, friendship, sports), countless images (Lucy holding the football, Snoopy lying on top of his doghouse) and well-known expressions (“Good Grief!,” “happiness is a warm puppy,” “security blanket”) that have become part of the American – indeed global – vocabulary. Whether you’re a fussbudget like Lucy, philosopher like Linus, Flying Ace like Snoopy, or a lovable loser like Charlie Brown, there is something to touch your heart or make you laugh in PEANUTS.
