* ReleaseDateChange: ''It's the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown'' was planned for a March 1988 airdate, but it was pushed to October due to production delays. By this time, ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' had been in theaters for a few months. Although ''It's the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown'' started production first, critics were quick to declare it a cheap knock-off.

* TroubledProduction: ''It's the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown'' (1988), [[MagnumOpusDissonance a hoped-to-be masterpiece for Schulz]] [[RogerRabbitEffect combining live action and animation]] ended up taking four years to make, went overtime and overbudget (costing "millions of dollars"), and director Walter C. Miller was difficult to work with (Schulz notes that he was strict around Shultz's daughter Jill, allegedly yelling at her on set). The special, originally targeting for a March 1988 airdate, ultimately came out in October (some months after ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''), calling critics to declare it (despite being a year earlier in starting production) a cheap knock-off.

* SleeperHit: With the behemoth that it would eventually become, you might not think the strip would qualify as one, but it definitely was a case of this in TheFifties. With elaborately-drawn {{Adventure}} and SoapOpera strips dominating the newspapers at the time, a humor strip about children with a visual style rooted in {{Minimalism}} was an outlier, and ''Peanuts'' grew very slowly. Seven newspapers ran the first ever strip on October 2, 1950. By the time the first reprint book was published in 1952, it had grown to 40, mainly in large cities. By 1958, that had only grown to around 300 US papers and a few dozen foreign ones (compared to the 2,000+ worldwide when Schulz retired). A typical example is [[UsefulNotes/{{Utah}} Salt Lake City]], where its longtime local home the ''Salt Lake Tribune'' didn't debut it until January of 1956, and even then, just as a Sunday-only strip. It didn't join the daily lineup until April of 1957.
