スヌーピーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (スヌーピーInstagram)「Peanuts is 73 years old today! The first Peanuts comic strip debuted on this day in 1950 and featured Patty, Shermy, and "Good ol’ Charlie Brown!⁠"⁠⁠ ⁠ Peanuts fans are often surprised to discover that in the early comic strips, Charlie Brown did not yet have his iconic zig-zag shirt, and Snoopy walked on all fours. During those early years, Charles M. Schulz used bold black lines to craft his characters and compositions, showcasing the aspirations of a young man who had dreamt of becoming a cartoonist since childhood.⁠ ⁠⁠ "I wanted a strip that was successful, not only commercially, but good artistically so that I would have the respect of fellow craftsmen. I'm pleased that phrases I have coined have become part of the language. And I think Snoopy and Charlie Brown will be remembered.” —Charles M. Schulz, 1968⁠⁠」10月3日 0時11分
