Lot Note(s): Signed lower center. Drawn on white wove paper. Very good condition; two very small edge tears, lower center, barely noticeable, else fine. Comment(s): Schulz, the creator and artist of "Peanuts," became wealthy by using his childhood insecurities and failures as material for his comic strip. Charlie Brown, the strip's likable loser, shared more than a first name with his creator and was inspired by Schulz's bittersweet memories of his Midwestern boyhood.
