Will McKinleyToday in 1952 — The first #Peanuts Sunday comic strip debuted in newspapers.
Charles M. Schulz’s iconic strip continued 7 days/week until his death in 2000.
StephenMcG@willmckinley I have been a huge fan of Peanuts since reading the little book collections when visiting my cousins in Long Island back in the mid-70s. Had never seen them in the UK.
@smcginnessuk Wow! When did the comic strip come to the U.K.?
@willmckinley it never appeared in newspapers to my knowledge, like Garfield did. I think I first earned finding the Fawcett collected strops in the early 80s, and had dozens of those before I was able to indulge myself and pick up the Fantagraphics Complete collection...
@willmckinley I am of course wrong, Google tells me that Peanuts stripe appeared in a few UK broadsheets over time in the 80s and 90s.
