Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for March 09, 2022

how courteous of you, Linus

As observant as Linus usually is, I wouldn’t’ve been surprised if he’d built the thing with Snoopy sleeping on the roof!

That’s pretty!

If he had legos he would be a Lego-Master!

Linus in these early strip was cute, smart and funny. He had an active – albeit bullied – sibling relationship with sister Lucy. It is disappointing that Schulz failed to do more with “Rerun”. Only when he was born did Lucy and Linus refer to their little brother. He never really appeared together with them in strips. Like Shermy, Patty, Violet, Pig Pen, Franklin, and Frieda, Rerun just faded away, a forgotten “Peanuts” character.

I’d love to see a Lego doghouse.

Cool doghouse, but does it have a pool table?

How deviously thoughtful of you, Linus!

Aw, Linus, there had to have been more red blocks than those to use!!

If those aren’t legos, how is he getting the blocks to stay up around the door. I know, I know. Cartoon physics.

Next, a TV and a pool table and a Van Gogh!

Linus always had great skills as a builder. I remember one strip set at the beach where Charlie Brown builds a flimsy little shack but Linus creates an elaborate sand CASTLE complete with turrets and fantastic details, even a moat as I recall.

See? I knew a building would come next! Is this Snoopy’s first house?

Another example of American Ingenuity.

Pask, the early, pre-Scrapwood Challenge, years

Good start. Now they just need to add the siding and the shingles, and Snoopy’s doghouse will be complete.
