I don’t know what’s more impressive, his massive Beethoven portrait, seeing an adult’s face in a Peanuts strip, or the fact that Lucy apparently drew a Schroeder-approved picture of Beethoven without photo reference.

Beethoven’s eyes follow you across the room.

“A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms.” Same with the portraits of Beethoven. And Schroeder obviously appreciated Lucy’s effort, maybe precisely because it’s not another copy of the same portrait reprinted everywhere.
Generally, Schroeder and Lucy are temporarily on good terms whenever she makes an honest effort to appreciate Beethoven… it just never lasts long.

I think Schroeder really did like it! I think he likes anything to do with Beethoven and appreciated Lucy’s efforts, it doesn’t matter if there’s already a giant picture
