Description
Charles Schulz - Peanuts Daily Comic Strip Original Art, dated 3-15-52 (United Features Syndicate, 1952). This early, mirthful, musical masterpiece featuring Charlie Brown, Schroeder, and Patty dates from within six months of Schroeder's historic debut on the toy piano (on September 24, 1951)! Since then Schroeder has played countless classical passages, many of them taken from a sonata by his idol, composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. The supremely gifted Schroeder somehow manages to perform multi-octave selections of music on his toy piano -- and the black keys are just painted on to the white keys! Once Charlie Brown tried to convince Schroeder to play a full-sized piano but Schroeder couldn't bring himself to do it. This daily has an image area of 27" x 5". The art was folded between the second and third panels, as almost all Peanuts dailies are; otherwise, it is in Excellent condition. Charles Schulz inscribed and signed the strip in its third panel, "For Roland Welch with sincere best wishes -- Charles M. Schulz."More information about Charles Schulz.
