Loungefly’s officially licensed Peanuts products come with numerous details paying homage to Snoopy and the entire Peanuts gang in celebration of their 75th anniversary. Items in the collection also include a coordinating 75th Anniversary lining that sets them apart from other Peanuts merchandise. An image of Snoopy sitting atop a yellow badge reading “75 Years” lines the backpacks, along with a silhouetted image of Snoopy and Charlie Brown flying a kite that reads “Happiness is 75 Years of Peanuts“.
The Peanuts comic strip was written and illustrated by Charles M. Schultz and ran from Oct. 2, 1950, until Feb. 13, 2000, when it continued with reruns. Over the course of its run, Peanuts published over 17,000 strips, making it one of the most popular and influential in the history of comics. Schultz drew the strip for almost fifty years without the help of assistants, even in the lettering and coloring process.

The strip went on to have an enduring legacy in the world of comics and in broader pop culture, where the characters were adapted into animated series and films. The Peanuts gang have even inspired live-stage productions, including 1975’s Snoopy! The Musical as well as numerous video and board games. Earlier this year, fast food giant McDonald’s paid tribute to Snoopy with special Collector’s Meal Cups featuring the character. Peanuts characters are also a staple at the Cedar Point amusement park, which has its own Planet Snoopy area.
