Original hand-inked three panel Peanuts daily comic strip by Charles Schulz, 20.25 x 6.5, signed and inscribed across the top in black felt tip, "For Cork, with friendship & admiration—Sparky," and also signed vertically in the last panel with his artist signature, “Schulz.” Dating to July 13, 1991, the comic strip shows Snoopy sitting atop his doghouse, hammering away at his typewriter as he crafts some purple prose: "Some nights were dark. Some nights were stormy. Some shots rang out. Some maids screamed. Some more editors sent rejection slips." Matted and framed to an overall size of 23.5 x 9.5. In fine condition.
In a daily Peanuts comic strip from July 1965, Snoopy was introduced as a 'World Famous Author'—which became a recurring character throughout the decades of Schulz's production of the Peanuts cartoon. Typing atop his doghouse, Snoopy starts many of his stories the same way, with the famous phrase: 'It was a dark and stormy night.' Iconic in this role, Snoopy appears with his typewriter on top of his doghouse in the final Peanuts daily comic, and also takes center stage in the final Sunday strip of February 13, 2000.
