Mixed media on paper. Featuring Snoopy in as the World War I Flying Ace. Snoopy's first appearance as the World War I Flying Ace was in the Peanuts comic strip from October 10, 1965, which saw him climb on top of his doghouse (claiming it was a Sopwith Camel biplane) to do battle with the Red Baron. The fantasy ended when Linus came up behind him and imitated the noise of a machine gun. Often, when Snoopy is seen as the World War I Flying Ace, it is hard for other characters to get his attention, because all Snoopy cares about at that point, is his imaginary battles. For instance, in the strip from June 20, 1989, when Charlie Brown comes home from camp, and really misses Snoopy, the first thing Snoopy (as the World War I Flying Ace) says when he sees the boy is, "Don't they realize how dangerous it is to let unauthorized kids on the runway?". Often, after an imaginary battle, Snoopy will call out "Curse you, Red Baron!" Signed and attr. Charles M. Schultz (American, 1922-2000). 11.6 x 8.3 inch (29.5 x 21 cm). Charles Schulz was the creator and cartoonist behind 'Peanuts,' a globally popular comic strip that expanded into TV, books and other merchandise. PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario estate
