Humour

First published in 1950, the classic Peanuts strip now appears in more than 2,200 newspapers in 75 countries in 25 languages. Phrases such as "security blanket" and "good grief," which originated in the Peanuts world, are now part of the global vernacular, and images of Charles Schulz's classic characters-Charlie Brown kicking the football, Lucy leaning over Schroeder's piano-are now universally recognized.
