One of the most recognisable cartoon characters
in the world, Charlie Brown, Snoopy and their
gang of friends became icons of American culture.
Peanuts, creator Charles
Schulz a day before his
death, wrote of his wish
that the comics end with
him. He died before the last
strip ran on February 13.
Around the letter from the
author was included several
of the strip’s iconic images,
some of which are discussed
below.
