The comic strip Peanuts was originally called Li’l Folks. The great Charles M Schulz created it in 1950, and it soon became the most popular comic strip in history.

Like so many of the great cartoon characters we all love, the main characters went through a metamorphosis before they became the characters we are all so familiar with. Two characters in the comic became the “stars” of the strip, the runaway favorites. The two were, as we all know, Charlie Brown and his dog, Snoopy.
