Description
Schulz, Charles
Original pen and ink illustration for the Peanuts comic strip. 25 September 1965
Four-panel comic strip (731 x 189 mm; mount 812 x 304 mm). Pen and ink on illustration board, each panel within a printed single-ruled border, with Peanuts title and United Feature Syndicate copyright affixed in the first panel; original mounting adhesive residue and staining around margins, faint central fold, inscription slightly faded.
Inscribed in brown ink above the strip: “For Brent and for Pat – with every best wish – Charles M. Schulz.”
A charming original Peanuts daily strip from 1965 featuring Linus and Snoopy in a moment of philosophical realism. The mid-1960s are considered to be Schultz's "golden period," at the height of his artistic and cultural impact.
Rendered in Schulz’s distinctive crisp line, Linus offers Snoopy some hard-won wisdom: “You really can’t expect to be happy all the time… you’re bound to have ups and downs… it’s only human!”—“If you’ll pardon the expression.”
