I wonder if this was the first Sunday strip by Schulz?

Sure looks like it. Looks like he began to have a Sunday strip the first Sunday in 1952.

Maybe ol’ Charles should retire from playing “Tag” against Snoopy.

I guess Peanuts had to prove itself for a year or so before the editors decided it was popular and successful enough to get a Sunday strip. It’s too bad we can’t see it in color.

I’m probably the fifth person to say this, but this is the first Sunday “Peanuts” strip. I’m glad Schulz used the tradition of unique logo boxes for many years to come. This strip features the continuing hilarity of the early Peanuts kids playing. As always, something bad happens. It’s a shame Charlie Brown has become easily mad at his playful pup.

You should get a shot, Charlie Brown

Interesting how all the recent daily strips have depicted winter scenes but here it is clearly spring or summer.

This is in fact the first Sunday strip, as others have said, but here is a link to a color version:https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/peanuts/images/2/2e/19520106.gif/revision/latest?cb=20190120221020

Looks like Snoopy is back with Patty.
