Description
Charles Schulz Peanuts Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 6-28-60 (United Feature Syndicate, 1960). As everyone knows, Snoopy is no ordinary dog. According to lore, Snoopy was inspired by Charles Schulz's childhood pet, Spike, "Snoopy's not a real dog of course -- he's an image of what people would like a dog to be. But he has his origins in Spike, my dog that I had when I was a kid. White with black spots. He was the wildest and smartest dog I've ever encountered. Smart? Why, he had a vocabulary of at least 50 words. I mean it. I'd tell him to go down to the basement and bring up a potato and he'd do it. I used to chip tennis balls at him and he'd catch and retrieve 'em." As the beloved beagle grew in popularity, so did the success of Peanuts. With panels starring both Charlie Brown and Snoopy from a peak period, this daily is sure to be the pride of any Peanuts art collection. The image area of this sixties Snoopy daily measures 27" x 5.5". As usual, the paper was folded between panels two and three; otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition.More information about Charles Schulz.
