26 Years Later, One Peanuts Character Still Has The Strip’s Saddest Goodbye

Charles Schulz’s Peanuts is perhaps the most legendary comic strip of all time, with the strip enjoying a phenomenal 50-year run in newspapers across the world. While February 13, 2000, marked the official end of the original Peanuts run, most of its recurring characters had already said goodbye to fans. Among them was Peppermint Patty, who, 26 years later, still has one of the most heartbreaking goodbyes in comic strip history.
