The comic strip revolves around a group of children and though adults exist in the comics, they always occupy the sidelines and are never seen. The protagonist Charlie Brown is a young and underconfident boy who is often bullied by his friend Lucy. By February 2000, Peanuts had published 17,897 strips in total, making the comic strip the longest-running story told by a single person. More importantly, the strip and the merchandise inspired by it made Schulz a billionaire in his lifetime. In this video, some mind-blowing facts about Charles M Schulz's Peanuts. For instance, did you know that Charles Schulz modelled the character of Charlie Brown after himself or that Snoopy had seven siblings but the comic strips introduced the readers to only five? In this video, we share with you more interesting facts like these.

You left out the great story of how Schulz received an angry racist letter demanding that he not show African-American Franklin in school with white children. Schulz, resentful of this, made sure Franklin was ALWAYS seen in school with white children.
Way to go Charles Shultz.
Laud you Mr. Schultz for not backing down.
Never Heard That , but it sounds just like something I’d do!!! That person was way outta line!!! When you get as 😂filthy rich as he is ,,, you’ve can give anyone & everyone if you want to the finger.
I hear that In the book "Peanuts: The Golden years" the racist letter is actually printed and displayed.@@user-ho9zz7wi7v
There was a short-lived character in the early years named Charlotte. She was so unpopular that Schulz dropped her as a character. Until recently, no strips featuring her were ever published in book form.
In fact, as some dark humor, the letter that confirmed Charlotte's removal, which is now in the Library of Congress, featured Charlotte with an axe in her head!
No matter what any one thinks about it, Peanuts is, in my opinion, one of the most abstract, important, underrated, and inherently derided comics in the history of the comic strip fandom.
EDIT (9.29.2023) It's been like two weeks since I've been waiting for a like on my comment. Stop hating on Peanuts, you guys! Please like my comment! It's for my ego if anything else.
I've never heard anyone deride Peanuts, maybe no-one believes that there are haters? I gave your comment a like, hope it assuages your ego.
I love the Peanuts TV specials, but my favorite comic is Calvin & Hobbes!
Calvin & Hobbes was indeed wonderful, but owes its existence largely to the comics landscape shaped by its predecessors, most significantly Peanuts.
@@alanr4447a True.
A couple of my favorite characters were, snoopy, Woodstock, Pig Pen,Lucy & Charlie Brown.........Loved & enjoyed all of the characters.........Classic 🙂💜
I love Charlie Brown
I love the Peanuts characters... They are my like my Achille's heel... lol
Love all Peanuts!!! Thank you 😊
Great vid but you refer to Linus’s Security Blanket, iconic! as his safety blanket! C’mon!
Interesting that there were actually two "Pattys" in the strip over time! The first being the blonde girl that wore a plaid "ice cream cone" patterned dress and usually hung around with Violet. Then she seemed to be phased out and "Peppermint Patty" joined the cast, Charles Schultz telling that he got that name from a dish of candy in his home.
I want Peanuts to be the Comic Strips everyday. Please bring back
Reading the peanuts in the Sunday paper
My favorite is Snoopy, just love that dog go.
My favorite 'it's magic Charlie Brown" that dog doing magic, the great houndini, incredibly funny
@@markross2124 Yes! He makes Charlie Brown disappear, and CB uses it to his advantage, finally kick the football. Lucy doesn't know WHAT'S going on! I haven't seen this special in YEARS, so I can't remember how it happened, but......Charlie Brown can't resist going for the kick one last time. As he runs to kick the ball, unbeknownst to him, he slowly starts to rematerialize. Lucy sees this, pulls her usual stunt, and Charlie Brown realizes that all is back to normal.
I like Snoopy and Woodstock
I like the peanuts comic strips and I still like it and Charlie brown and snoopy are still cool. 😀👍
My favorite character is Charlie Brown and the little red haired girl
Is anyone beside me disappointed that the TV specials were bought by Apple + and can no longer be seen on public TV?
Uh..I’m NOT sure where the heck you’re getting your information from, but my cable did air the Thanksgiving special On Demand. For me, I’m NEVER going to have that problem! I own the top three Holiday specials as a Blu-ray/DVD boxes set, as well as SEVERAL other Peanuts specials on DVD AND I STILL have some on VHS!
yeah I don't know what you're smoking, I just saw the Halloween one awhile back
@@joe-vz6hx I had heard they weren't going to be on public TV (CBS). I can't afford cable so antenna is the only way I can see them. Didn't check for the Halloween one. I usually watched the Thanksgiving and Christmas one.
@@michellehuffstutler1215 Here’s an idea:
Just buy them like I did! This way, when the time comes for that particular special to air, you won’t have to worry about missing it!
The collector’s boxed set that I have comes with:
A Charlie Brown Christmas
It’s The Great Pumpkin
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
ALL of the titles listed comes with an extra cartoon on every disk plus other extras NO MATTER which edition you purchase!
I named my first dog after Snoopy. I have always identified with Charlie Brown the most.
Snoopy has always been my favorite.
I love charlie Brown , but there was Dag wood and many more.
Charlie Brown did NOT have "just one curl" ... he had those ridiculous looking (though somehow made him more endearing) hairs on the back of his head that we always pointing straight up to the sky lol
I caught that as well.
Hello again Facts Verse 🤚 Thank you so very much for doing a video on the Peanuts gang. I lived for watching the special shows on tv when I was a kid. I would always look forward to the Halloween and Christmas ones. I still enjoy them to this day. Thank you for another great video and I hope you and your subscribers have a wonderful evening 🌟
Charlie Brown & Snoopy are my favorite Peanuts Characters.
Linus is mine.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha Nice!
Snoopy
I was born in 1970 and had a collection of all of the books (I was born in MN). Then we moved to Florida and my mom threw out most of my stuff. I had a TON of 45s and LPs, a collection of all the fairy tales, and my Peanuts and Family Circle collections; oh, and Laurel and Hardy collectible wind up dolls! What a meanie! I was devastated then, but now wonder how much $ they would’ve been worth today 🤔
Bummer!
Kelli Dean Throw her in a nursing home for that.
(I’m joking here)
@@cha5 😂 Don’t get me started 😉
A lot me and my husband collected macDonald.figurines.
Snoopy was cool
Excellent
I will always remember back in the sixties, my older sister played Lucy’s character in Elementary School, Your a Good Man Charlie Brown! It was wholesome!
I am a Pig Pen fan myself. He the one person that doesn't get any recognition at all. I hope he does talk about more with the Peanuts gang someday soon in the future!
I wonder who inspired Pig Pen?
@@cocoaorange1 I'm not sure on that reply myself!
Craig Schulz son of Charles came into the house very dirty and Charles first instinct was to call the child a pigpen so pigpen was based off of Charles son craig
@@user-cb9rb2uq6g Thank you for your help. I didn't know about the information at all. You have a nice day anyway.
@@mrfloxin thx u to
Sad as it is they no longer have them in the Sunday LA Times! When I was quite young me and my younger brother fought over the comic strip on Sunday morning before heading off to church! I just don’t understand why they got rid of them!! Certain things were cherished by kids my age secret toy surprise in a box of cereal or Jack n the box ! The chance of getting a Oscar Meyer wieners and the Sears Christmas Toy catalog! ! They also took away weekends cartoons feeding that the needed different channel and teaching something rather than just funny! I say GOOD GRIEF!
I meant Cracker Jacks! 🙄
My favorite character is Marcie. She reminds me a lot of myself, both in personality and looks. Her best friend Peppermint Patty is another favorite, she reminds me of *my* best friend!
I am a huge Peanuts fan! Snoopy and Schroeder are 2 of my top favorites.
I was born in 1959 so I grew watching the Peanuts.
Happy, Happy Birthday Charlie Brown!!! We Love You & All of Your Movies!!! You are AWESOME DUDE!!!
Snoopy was my favorite,if you ever go to Santa Rosa , CA The Peanuts character s are in certain parts of town .
Cool! Why there? Also, you mean like statues?
I’m a massive Peanuts fan!
I definitely wanna get some of those stamps for my collection...🤘🏼💯✔️
Us too! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Who is your favorite Peanuts character?
@@FactsVerse It's definitely Charlie Brown...👌🏼💯✔️
Thanks for his story. I love Charlie Brown. Thanks for mentioning that band The Beatles aa they were very important indeed to help Americans.
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see?
Do one the walking dead comics
Happy birthday Mr. Schultz. Absolutely loved your Peanuts 🥜 comic strips. Snoopy and Woodstock are my favorite characters. Thank you for your cartoon genius. You are sorely missed and fondly remembered.
Thank you so much for the birthday greeting! Have a great evening☺
Peanuts.... what's not to like?
about the last 10-15 yrs of the strip, frankly. it became tragically un-funny in its final years. still it is easily the greatest strip ever (followed not too far behind by Calvin and Hobbes).
I will have to say Charlie Brown and Lucy because of the scenes of Lucy holding the football and when Charlie try to kick it, she picked it up and he falls down, so hilarious and so wrong at the same time.
A Stuffed Snoopy was the first toy I ever could call my own. I had it since I was born and for 30 years before losing it when I lost all my worldly items.
The Christmas music on CD is my favorite.
6:45 In "It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown" the little red-haired girl's name was revealed to be "Heather" (which Schulz had first suggested in the February 1968 issue of "Woman's Day" magazine), but the surname "Wold" was not given until "The Peanuts Movie" in 2015.
My wife Brenda is stone bonkers about the Peanuts Characters. Her favorites r Snoopy & Charlie Brown.
Me too!
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha me too you should see how much snoopy items I have I might do a haul
Peppermint Patty and Marcie actually went to a different School across town at least originally
Peanuts gave us great lines and ideas
Charles Schultz was to comic strips and animated specials as Fred Rodgers was to children's TV
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great weekend!
Randy West Love Snoopy and a Snoopy Fan and Randy West Love The Peanuts Comic Stip in the Newspaper.
It's never just "Charlie." It's always "Charlie Brown." It's never just "Patty," it's always "Peppermint Patty." Peppermint Patty and Marcie do not go to the same school as Charlie Brown.
It’s not always Peppermint Patty. The other kids usually call her Patty when talking to her. You’re right about her & Marcie not going to CB’s 🏫 though.
Peanuts is my all-time favorite comic strip and my favorite character is Charlie Brown.
Good Grief
After Lucy's toddler phase as she grew older Schultz modeled her after his first wife who was supposedly something of an ogre that loved the money
the Peanuts strip and franchise brought in far more than she ever loved Shultz himself.
Sad.
Never knew that.
Charlie Brown was my (imaginary friends) name when I was a little boy! LMAO 😆😅
Most people forget at one time Schulz was going to get rid of Linus and Lucy in the strip (don't really know why) But it was a big deal and people got so upset that Schulz had to bring them back and keep them. It was I think the father found a new job out of town and they had to move but the world got so upset that Schulz had to bring them back and keep them. I think Schulz wanted to focus more on Charlie Brown and Snoopy not sure but glad they came back
That was the plot of "Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown".
I really have no dancing ability so when I dance I dance like the kids in the Christmas special.
I owe my love of reading to PEANUTS when I was little my father got me a collection of their books when i was 4 and followed the strip till the day Sparky died its my all time favorite strip with Snoopy as the WWI Flying Ace my favorite part of the strip
7:30 I knew it
How come this episode has so less views when peanuts is famous almost across the world…🇮🇳
All the Peanuts characters are endearing, albeit in different ways.
1:00 Peanuts "made its way to the big screen" FOUR times BEFORE 2015, starting in 1969 ("A Boy Named Charlie Brown"), albeit not in 3D.
Charlie brown and the snoppy gang are my favorite and their comic strip is good?
Awesome
Peanut and snoopy
That's me when I want to tell a guy I have a crush on I like him but always back out one time I was eating out with part of my family and my crush he said he didn't bring money to eat I thought weird but tried to show him I'm sweet and not a gold digger I payed for his meal he said thanks and said he would pay me back never happened so not only did he not see worth getting to know never payed me back
I like all of them, I am hopeful that my comic strips get into syndication like sparky...
I like Charlie Brown
i love snoopy
One of our favorites too! Did you like the video?
Does anyone know the history of the Charlie Brown shirt design? It's legendary and used in other strips today.
Anya like peanuts🤣🥜
Hii
Charlie Brown and Snoopy have both officially been to the Moon! The callsign for the Apollo 10 command module, chosen by the crew, was Charlie Brown, and the lunar module was Snoopy. At first, NASA was not in favor of these designations, but eventually relented, recognizing the public relations bonanza it would generate. Schulz initially was reluctant, since Charlie Brown couldn’t even fly a kite, and he was fearful of jinxing the mission. He did give his blessing, though, and produced some mission-related artwork.
The iconic communication caps all Apollo astronauts wore were nicknamed Snoopy caps, due to the resemblance they had to a certain beagle while wearing them.
Charlie Brown's character was based on Charles M Schultz real life.
There's a few factual errors in this video. Charles Schulz was not Charlie Brown. He specifically denied that in several interviews and stated that each character represents an aspect of his personality. He also made it clear that the strip was his creation and that he never implemented any suggestions into his strip, even warning people not to tell him suggestions if they ever wanted him to use them.
How many people know that the strip was not originally called peanuts? Schultz named the strip " little people." I believe it was an editor who suggested the name peanuts
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see?
I thought they were wrong for anime on it it should be left the way it was a cartoon there’s a difference in Carter’s animation or Cuba
5:52 Correction: "Schulz introduced Peppermint Patty and Marcie [five years apart] as two girls who do [NOT] attend the same school as Charlie Brown"!
Why are [you're] words in [brackets]? I have noted [this a lot] in people's writing recently and it doesn't seem [to mean anything] but just to look [fancy and showoff-ish] Is this some kind [of] ridiculous fad[?]
@@PoohbearPlus I was showing what would have to be inserted into the narration to correct its factual errors. I can't speak to other people's uses, except that it's often to correct someone's mistakes, likely, as you were spoofing, when they'd say "your" when they meant "you're".
@@alanr4447a [Your] right. It was spoofing.
@@PoohbearPlus Hopefully that [taut] you something!
@@alanr4447aWell, well, well. Now you are the spoofer - no brackets needed!
I heard that Apple bought the rights to the peanuts holiday special I can't remember if it's the Halloween or the Thanksgiving one but I heard Apple bought the rights and that was just so that they could get people to have to pay to be that special on their cell phone at work and I'm not trying to be mean to anyone who has Apple I'm just saying I just don't agree with the company for doing that.
If Schulz hated the name Peanuts why couldn’t he have called the strip Charlie Brown or Charlie Brown & Snoopy or Charlie Brown & Friends?
He would have, but it was the distributing syndicate (United Features) that actually owned it, as the "price" for agreeing to syndicate it nationally, a standard arrangement, and decided on the name THEY liked, "Peanuts".
This is sort of a 'downer'. I think I didn't like that Lucy was always telling Charlie Brown how dumb or stupid he was. I never wanted my children to feel this way. Other than that - I really loved Peanuts and especially Snoopy.
The comedy style seemed to get overused from anything after the 1960s . And I don’t really like anything from the peanuts after that time except for one cartoon that came out in 2006. c
Charles M Schultz never gave up on what he love to do. He was the loser who never gave up.
I knew Charles M. Schulz modeled our loveable loser on himself. Knew he hated the "Peanuts" name. I knew about the uproar over Franklin. I knew about Marcie's eyes. In one cartoon(don't remember which), Marcie raises her glasses(like they were sunglasses) to wink at Charlie Brown.
Schultz was a devout Christian and he said that Linus represented his religious views.
@@PoohbearPlus I always felt that. Linus, has always been, and is to this day, my favorite.
@@joeymorvant161 Yeah, Linus is my favorite too. Snoopy is my other favorite.
@@PoohbearPlus Nice!
That graphic at 1:36 is strictly bush league. Don't know where you got it, but it has no place here. Sorry. AUUUGGHHH!!!!
supposedly Snoopy is a Beagle dog, the name, titles, called like that everywhere,
never it was proved (00) or is it proved Snoopy beagle? or just because called so it is assumed?
I love snoopy, and olaf
Introduce an innocuous Black character and get HATE mail!!! DAMN America! Linus was my dude! He used to drop knowledge!!!
Paige is a girl
So basically all the racist got mad because of a black character being added
Apparently so. Sad, really. But the good news is, (I read this) that Charles M. Schulz didn't care about the fuss and bad mail and kept Franklin.
Repent and put your trust in Jesus.
We've all sinned and deserve Hell.
Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, defeating death and sin.
Since we broke the law, Jesus paid our fine. Since he paid it, we can be let go.
We must repent and trust in Jesus to be saved.
