Peanuts comic books, not the newspaper version. I found the website through Neurastenia. Beautiful covers, but except for the very first one, Charles M. Schulz did not draw the insides of the books. It is even possible that the "signed" covers may not be Schulz either. These issues were produced by a crew of artists working for Schulz and who did advertising artwork for him. The main artist was Dale Hale. Snoopy of course is contemplating Kierkegaard.
Keep visiting Paul Giambarba, he is still posting those magnificent drawings Edward Penfield did in Holland.

Thanks for posting the pic from the royal york, it does give the impression that there were loads of younger people there... and as you know we were probably the only young ones there... I felt 75 yrs old when I entered the Imperial Room !
