Peanuts is a long-running comic strip drawn by Charles Schulz, along with a series of animated television specials derived from the comic. It features a cast mainly of small American children, with a couple of anthropomorphized animals. Its humor is so timeless and gentle that even today reruns of comics written decades ago are being printed in newspapers across the nation. Adults are not seen in the Peanuts comic strip, and seldom in the TV specials. Usually, when adults talk in the specials, it's only unrecognizable noise (created via the use of a muted trombone[1]).
