Assignment 7 Thomas Kenny

October 2^nd 1950: First strip of the Charlie Brown comic is published in 9 papers. This is a good event, as this comic later to be known as “Peanuts” was immensely popular and read by millions over the years. I personally don’t care for this comic very much, as I was not very interested in comics as a child. I much preferred cartoons, sports, and video games. However, I understand how influential Charlie Brown was and can appreciate this event despite my apathy towards it. The Charlie Brown Christmas movie is legendary as far as festive entertainment goes. Its characters are still used today, as evidenced by Metlife Insurance’s advertisements. If you spend enough time looking you’ll probably even find a grade school student with a Charlie Brown lunchbox. Mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa.
