Answer: Peanuts

Running from Oct 2, 1950-February 13, 2000, the 'PEANUTS' comic strip was originally named "Li'l Folks". The name change was forced upon the strip's creator, Charles Schulz, who referred to the "Peanuts" name as "...totally ridiculous, has no meaning, is simply confusing, and has no dignity-and I think my humor has dignity."

8. The founding of Planters Peanuts, the birth of entertainer Josephine Baker, and a devastating San Francisco earthquake all occurred in what year?
