Charles Schulz Autographed Sketch Drawing of "Linus" 1957 book

Charles Schulz
Original Drawn Sketch of "Linus"

One of the most desired Charles Schulz drawn sketches is that of beloved Peanuts character “Linus”.  This is most likely because he Rarely autographed and drew Linus. Almost all the sketches he drew for friends and fans were of “Snoopy” or “Charlie Brown”. 

Here is a great example of Schulz famous Peanuts art of Linus holding his blanket and sucking on his thumb. Drawn on the first main blank page of this vintage  Peanuts book.  For those familiar with his comic art and signature this is indeed an early style of both his artwork and signature. The “Linus” sketch and autograph have been done with vintage blue fountain pen.  The pages have some age toning to them as expected for a 53 year old book. But the book, sketch and signature are in excellent condition.   The vintage book is 8 x 5.5".. A really exceptional find!

Guaranteed Authentic for Life

Bio:
Linus van Pelt is a character in Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts. The best friend of Charlie Brown, Linus is also the younger brother of Lucy van Pelt and older brother of Rerun van Pelt. He first appeared on September 19, 1952; however, he was not mentioned by name until three days later. He was first referenced two months earlier, on July 14. Linus spoke his first words in 1954, the same year he was shown with his security blanket

Perhaps paradoxically, given his advanced intellect, Linus is almost never without his blue blanket, which debuted in the June 1, 1954 strip. He holds the blanket over his shoulder while sucking his thumb. It was in fact he who coined the term "security blanket." Ridicule of the habit is not a major concern for him as shown when one friend, Roy, warned him at summer camp that he would be viciously teased for it.
