Peppermint Patty's Last Peanuts Strip Is Still An Absolute Work Of Art Even 26 Years Later

Few comic strip creators had a sendoff quite like Charles M. Schulz for his legendary series, Peanuts. His iconic characters enjoyed a ubiquitous presence in newspapers worldwide as the series bowed out just ahead of Valentine's Day 2000. Looking back on his final months with the series, every strip surrounding both Schulz's retirement letter strip and the final release now stirs up a wistful sort of nostalgia as fans understand that this was his way of saying goodbye to his iconic creations assembled over nearly 50 years of relentless serialization.
