Charles Schulz - Peanuts Daily Strip Art
<B>Charles Schulz - Peanuts Daily Comic Strip Original Art, dated 9-11-53 (United Features Syndicate, 1953).<BR></B></I> As Charlie Brown soon learns in this episode from the early days of <I>Peanuts</B></I>, Schroeder has but one musical muse -- the great Ludwig van Beethoven. In Charles Schulz' 1975 book, <B>Peanuts Jubilee</B></I>, the cartoonist revealed how Schroeder came by his name, "Schroeder was named after a young boy with whom I used to caddy at Highland Park golf course in St. Paul. I don't recall ever knowing his first name, but just 'Schroeder' seemed right for the character in the script, even before he became the great musician he now is." Charlie Brown, Schroeder, the piano, and the Beethoven bust (which is featured prominently in the strip's punch line) appear in all four panels, and a few of those famous music notes show up at the top of panel four. The image area of this daily measures 27" x 5". Aside from a fold between panels two and three, a pasted-on lettering correction in panel two, and missing a piece of its title logo in panel one, the art is in Very Good condition. <BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
