Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 31, 2024

Li’l cutie. ♥

Schroeder comes in as the 6th Peanuts character, he out lasted the ones that came before him, minus Snoopy and good ole’ Charlie Brown, of course.

I forgot he started as a baby. It will be a while before he can play the piano.

In time, Schroeder and Lucy will catch up with Charlie Brown, while Linus will either catch up or be a year behind (they eat lunch together at school). Sally, who was born after the others settled in around the same age, will ultimately be just slightly younger than Linus. Snoopy, definitely a puppy in the early years, grows into an awkward sort-of adolescent and finally a compact, eccentric adult. Woodstock has his own nest so is presumably grown up, but gives the impression of being pushed into the world a bit early.

I never liked kids when I was a kid.

My favorite baby!!

So Schroeder started out toe-headed like Charlie Brown, only his hair was able to really grow out.

Oh, my, Schroeder is a baby. Does he play piano yet at this point?

Stick a piano in front of him and off ya go!!

Did we rewind again? I thought we’d aready established Schroeder

Is this the first appearance of Schroeder as a baby who doesn’t play the piano yet?

Aww.

I’ve never seen baby Schroeder before!

da da da dahhhhh

Was his first word piano or Beethoven?

Oh that Schroeder kid is going places.

Welcome, Schroeder!
