The weird thing is given the world is round and the international dateline in Asia, the Middle East and Russia his final strip was being delivered at the time he died. He couldn’t live without them.

It's not mentioned in this video (like a lot of things that were oddly unmentioned-I say 'oddly,' given the reference to "resilience") but prior to his success with "Peanuts" he actually experienced a lot of failure & rejection with his cartoons. He submitted cartoons to various publications & syndicates all around the country & was rejected by all of them. In his youth, he even applied for a position at Walt Disney, for which he received a...polite letter informing him that they only accepted the most talented artists...and that didn't include him, unfortunately. So when he finally successfully sold one of his comic strips to a newspaper & got a response stating, "Check in mail," he was so used to rejection, he assumed they meant that he should check his mail, that they were going to send the cartoon back.

I am making a personal decision not to watch AI generated content. The VO is clearly AI. Evident from the mispronouncing of "Linus," a character whose name has been well-known for over 60 years. The name itself is ancient. I quit the video when I heard how the CGV butchered it.
