Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 15, 2017

This looks like a snow job!

Gee, who made the third one?

Cute!

I recall so many of these from the original Peanuts collections, and it’s fun to see them again – along with all the others that were never anthologized.

I have to admit I’ve never seen a snowman with a belt before!

And where’s the dirty one built by Pig Pen?

Cute snow “figures” (can’t call them “snowmen”) but they don’t compare to Calvin’s.

The world’s first “snow-dog” (not like Underdog)

Like it!

Yeah, but where’s Snowstock?

It was rare when Schulz drew entire houses and his backgrounds were more detailed in the early years. His art became more simplified as the years passed, with the emphasis more on the dialog between his characters. By the last two decades of his work, Schulz became a minimalist, with his strips often featuring little or no dialog at all.
