Charles M. Schulz was born in Minnesota on this day in history, Nov. 26, 1922, and would go on to create Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy and the rest of the "Peanuts" gang of cartoon characters.
Schulz’s parents were Carl, a barber of German heritage, and his mother, Dena, who hailed from a Norwegian family. The first "Peanuts" strip appeared on Oct. 2, 1950, in seven newspapers nationwide. The "Peanuts" phenomenon extended beyond newspapers to include books, animated television specials, theme parks and a Broadway musical, "You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Erica Lamberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Throughout his youth, father and son shared a Sunday morning ritual [of] reading the funnies," cited the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California.
