The comic strip Peanuts first appeared in newspapers on October 2, 1950. It was written by Charles M. Schulz.
Initially the comic strip only included one character, an 8½-year-old boy named Charlie Brown.
But Schulz quickly realized that one little boy would not be enough to carry a comic strip that was read nationwide.
And soon other characters arrived. Some came and went never to be seen again. For example in 1951, Schulz introduced a little Iranian boy named Rafsarji Kasheen.
He stayed around for three comic strips before his character returned back to Iran because he really missed his pet camels.
Another character that only lasted one outing was Sarah, a 7-year-old girl who went around spitting at other little kids.
Schultz received thousands of complaints about this disgusting little punk and she was sent off to comic strip Siberia.
But soon a gallery of acceptable characters started showing up and the readers really took to them.
