Peanuts 2025 April 07 – The post

I PEANUTS They are the most famous comic strip in the world, published daily between 1950 and 2000, when his author Charles Schulz died at 77 years of age. Even today the replicas of the stripes are distributed and published every day in the newspapers of dozens of countries of the world: in Italy, by the post. The popularity and influence of the strip – and its most famous characters, especially Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus – has extended over time to all media and daily life of all world, through their characters, their jokes, the roots of their customs, and an extraordinary amount of very effective aphorisms and quotes. The frustrations, insecurities, illusions, anxieties, children’s characters have always reflected those of adult readers by adding childhood tenderness that have always passionate about children’s readers: building over time a success in very different generations. The name Peanuts was chosen by the Striscia distributor citing that of an audience of children in a television show of the time, and it has always been said that Schulz didn’t like it. But as Lucy Van Pelt says, “the more you age, the less you are sure than a lot of things”.
