Charlie Brown, more cherubic then than the frazzled everyboy he grew into, is seen approaching from a distance. But naivety in Peanuts went hand in hand with crankiness from its first appearance as a syndicated daily, in October 1950. His sensitivity to criticism can seem at odds with the apparent simplicity of Peanuts: its ageless Midwestern idyll, where Charlie Brown, his friends and his beagle play baseball or ice hockey, or just shoot the breeze, all rendered in Schulz’s trademark – revolutionary – minimalist line, with an Esterbrook’s Radio 914 pen. One of the things the exhibition captures well is Charles M. The strip is displayed as part of ‘Good Grief, Charlie Brown!’, an exhibition at Somerset House exploring Peanuts’s cultural reach.
