Peanuts persists to this day as an important shorthand in political and social commentary. The legacy Schulz established in his comic strip has been caught and carried on by his fans. Despite his passing in 2000, Peanuts is one of the highest grossing cartoon properties in the world. As Peanuts’ relationship with insurer MetLife demonstrates, however, the twenty-first century has presented new challenges to the continued relevance of Peanuts in American pop culture. While some were unsure that the characters could survive without Schulz, Peanuts has been remarkably resilient and enjoyed a resurgence in film, television, and publication in recent years.
