Happy Anniversary Peanuts!!!

That's right, today in 1950 the comic strip Peanuts first graced society with brilliant and heartwarming humor-laden social commentary told through the innocent and relatable eyes of some of the greatest child characters in history. With over 17,000 total strips, Peanuts  is easily one of the longest-running and most influential comic strips in history. It set a standard for daily comics which still affects how such comics are produced to this very day. Thank you Charles Shultz for so many wonderful years of laughter and heart, and bittersweet-ness and nostalgia. Oh, and for Snoopy. That dog is awesome.

Peanuts continues to rerun, rightly so, in newspapers to this very day, and I sincerely hope that it always will. We love you, Peanuts. The world would be a little darker without you.
