February 13, 2000, the final Peanuts comic strip was published. Written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, it ran from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000, continuing in reruns afterward. The strip is 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 its peak, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages. It helped to cement the four-panel gag strip as the standard in the United States, and together with its merchandise earned Schulz more than $1 billion. Reprints of the strip are still syndicated and run in almost every U.S. newspaper.
Peanuts achieved considerable success with its television specials, several of which, including A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, won or were nominated for Emmy Awards. The holiday specials remain popular and are currently broadcast on ABC in the United States during the corresponding seasons. The Peanuts franchise met acclaim in theatre, with the stage musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown being a successful and often-performed production.
Peanuts has been described as "the most shining example of the American success story in the comic strip field"; this is ironic, given its theme is "the great American unsuccess story." The main character, Charlie Brown, is meek, nervous, and lacks self-confidence. He is unable to fly a kite, win a baseball game, or kick a football. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Peanuts the fourth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time.

wxs tries to play monopoly. it goes horribly
tsukasa is the top hat because he demands to be. nene is the cat, emu is the dinosaur, and rui is the dog.
if tsukasa is not the top hat you’ve already failed the game
emu and rui try to team up at one point. nene tries to shut this down but tsukasa replies with “I SUPPOSE ME AND NENE ARE ON A TEAM TOO!”
this goes wrong. tsukasa doesn’t know how to play. emu doesn’t know how to play. rui and nene have been playing for years.
and those two are COMPETITIVE
rui gives nene the sharpest look as she lands on boardwalk, the only time he makes eye contact the entire game being as he buys it.
emu also manages to snag park place. nene lies on her back whilst groaning loudly.
tsukasa quotes shakespeare as he secures their first and only monopoly of a color
emu and rui win. nene vows to smoke rui’s ass next time. tsukasa gives rui and emu the firmest handshake known to man as he congratulates them on their win
tsukasa still insists the top hat is the luckiest piece
