'''''Li'l Folks''''', the first [[comic strip]] by ''[[Peanuts]]'' creator [[Charles M. Schulz]], was a weekly [[Gag cartoon|panel]] that appeared mainly in Schulz's hometown paper, the ''[[St. Paul Pioneer Press]]'', from June 22, 1947, to January 22, 1950. As Schulz's first regular cartoon, ''Li'l Folks'' can be regarded as an embryonic version of ''Peanuts'', centered around children saying things beyond their years. Unlike ''Peanuts'', ''Li'l Folks'' did not feature any recurring characters, though several themes were carried over to the later strip, including: [[Beethoven]]'s music (which was applied to ''Peanuts'' character [[Schroeder (Peanuts)|Schroeder]]); dogs resembling [[Snoopy]] that appeared in most strips; and the name [[Charlie Brown]].<ref name=schulz>[http://www.fivecentsplease.org/dpb/lilbegin.html "Charles M.
