    It does kind of make sense if you know Schultz was from Minnesota and Minnesotans call all little kids “peanut”

    So, “Lil Folks” to “Peanuts” is a really logical choice and people from the upper Midwest might not even notice the difference!

      Nah. It was a named forced on him that referenced the “peanut gallery” and he always kind of hated it. But eventually he felt like he had to stick with it.

      Edit: nerrrrrrrrrrd

        Huh, I guess maybe Minnesotans calling kids “peanut” came from the comic strip, instead of the other easy around. TIL.

        Thanks, nerd ;)
