I read somewhere that in the early Peanuts strips Schulz on very rare occasions drew adults. I have never seen one of those strips. If anyone can tell me the date of any of those strips, I would be grateful. Thanks. (This one above doesn’t count since it is supposed to be Linus who drew the doctor.)
