If you are looking for Peanuts TV, though, this doesn't have to do with Sony.

Peanuts struck a licensing deal with actually Apple TV+.

That was renewed through 2030.

They're going to make original Peanuts content over there on Apple, so a little bit of bifurcation in this franchise.

But I hope Sony puts a lot of money and interest in behind Peanuts because they have been successful with a bunch of these other franchises, and we'll see what they do with Peanuts.

And let's just admire how prolific Schultz was, right?

So it came out in 1947.

It was called Lil Folks.

It wasn't even called Peanuts.

Apparently he hated the name.

Peanuts, but they had to change it three years later.

So I don't know how the history would have changed if this thing was still called Lil Folks.

But over those decades, he produced 17,897 peanut strips, 15,000 daily ones, and 2,500 Sunday ones until his death in 2000.

He died the day before the final comic strip came out.

All right, it's Monday, so here's what you need to know to stay ahead in the week ahead.

It's here, the culmination of the winter holiday season, Festivus.

Tomorrow, as introduced in an iconic episode of Seinfeld, families will gather around the aluminum pole and tell them all the ways they have disappointed each other over the past year.

That airing of grievances is, of course, followed by the feats of strength, and I really hope you put up a better fight than Jake Paul.

Toby, let it out.

What problems do you have with me?
