USA, Minnesota

This is one of the exceptions to my no cartoon character rules. Charlie Brown and Peanuts is such a beloved comic strip. He was created by Charles Schultz. Charles Schultz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and died in Santa Rosa, California. The following is from Wikiipedia:

"The strip's original run extended from 1950 to 2000, and continuing in reruns afterward. Peanuts is among the most popular and influential in the history of comic strips, with 17,897 strips published in all, making it 'arguably the longest story ever told by one human being.' At the time of Schulz's death in 2000, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of around 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages. 

Peanuts focuses entirely on a social circle of young children, where adults exist but are never seen and rarely heard." 

The comic strip was always a moral one. It seemed that not only was humor a standard, but a moral was also always suggested. This Christmas scene was purchased with love for a fun and sentimental character. Made by Lenox.
