    SCHULZ, Charles.
    Original final camera ready drawing for "Peanuts" signed ("Schulz"), in black marker, with visible original pencil sketching beneath, New York, July 21, 1953. 1 page, card stock, 29 x 6 1/2 in. A wonderful and typical 'strip' from the best loved American cartoonist of the century. Charlie Brown and Beethoven wannabe Shroeder share a few comical moments over four panels: "Get your foot off my Piano! Oh, don't be so fussy ... It's not solid mahogany, you know! Well, it's the next best thing ... It's solid plastic!"
