Linus Van Pelt was Charlie’s best friend.
He’s most known for carrying around his blue security blanket and sucking his thumb.
His actions made viewers who did the same feel secure and seen.
Fans can see his first lines in strips that were produced in 1954.
He soon was a part of one of thebestPeanutscomic strips of all time.
Although he’s merely a dog, he acted human-like without speaking.
He was lovable, trustworthy, and easily excitable.
The museum continued, “Each has a specific relationship to their brother, Snoopy.”
One of the first and most memorable wasA Charlie Brown Christmas, which came out in 1965.
It was a perfect introduction to the group of friends on screen.
The special was 25 minutes long and had some great quotes that fans repeat every holiday.
After the special’s success, what followed wasCharlie Brown’s All-Stars!
Schulz later added Franklin Armstrong to the Peanuts gang - one of the first mainstream comics to do it.
It became one ofthe best image-based comicsin the world and is widely celebrated globally.
According toTime Magazine, Schulz created a strip that included forerunners to classicPeanutscharacters entitledLil' Folks.
It wasn’t until 1950 thatLil FolksbecamePeanuts.However, Schulz didn’t love the new name.
He toldTime, I wanted to keep Lil Folks.
I wanted a strip with dignity and significance.
Peanuts made it sound too insignificant.
The name change was eventually for the better.
Because of how significant thePeanutsstrip is, it’s a comic that’s perfect for a Netflix series.
Considering Snoopy is one of the most well-known dogs in the world, Schulz did right by his mother.
Snoopy is right up there withDisney’s best-animated dogs.
She didn’t make an appearance until thePeanutsdid specials on TV.
