Before there was Peanuts, there was Li'l Folks, Charles M. Schulz's cartoon he produced for his hometown newspaper, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, starting in 1947. Fortunes and world fame are not made from selling cartoons to one newspaper, however. So Schulz pitched Li'l Folks to the United Features Syndicate, who was interested in the work, but not the name, of Schulz's strip.
So who decided on the name Peanuts?
