Charlie Brown Cartoon Welcomes Visitors to Minneapolis

A flyer featuring characters from the "Peanuts" comic strip, created by Minneapolis cartoonist Charles Schulz, was posted on a utility pole at the intersection of Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis on January 14th, 2026. The "Peanuts" characters, Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt, are depicted in a winter scene with the text "WELCOME TO MINNEAPOLIS! ENJOY YOUR STAY!". The flyer's placement and imagery, particularly the word "ICE" on Charlie Brown's shirt, may allude to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation that occurred in Minneapolis around the same time, known as "Operation Metro Surge."
