'Peanuts' is an American comic strip that's much adored by the world.

Peanuts was written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz. The 'Peanuts' comic strip ran from 2 October 1950 to 13 February 2000, after which it continued to rerun.

'Peanuts' is among the most influential and popular comic strips written in history. It has a total of 17,897 strips published, making it the longest story ever told by a human being. 'Peanuts' ran in 2,600 newspapers, where 355 million people from 75 different countries read it daily, and it was translated into 21 different languages. Unfortunately, the creation of the comic strip came to an end after Charles Schulz's death in 2000.

"Good Grief!" which was first written in 1952's print, is the main protagonist, Charlie Brown's most famous saying. It became uniquely tied to Brown and his buddies and is still linked with the characters today. Charlie Brown and his friends had already transitioned from comic strip to television when this phrase started to get popular. The first television 'specials' of 'Peanuts' that gained popularity quickly were all based on all famous holidays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
