✨ Exhibition Spotlight ✨ ⁠ ⁠ “I’m never quite sure what the character is going to say, sometimes, until the very last minute, while I’m actually in the process of doing the lettering.”—Charles M. Schulz ⁠ ⁠ Comparing this abandoned original to the published version, it seems likely that Charles M. Schulz was unhappy with the crowded second line in the final panel: once reduced to newspaper print size, it could have been hard to read. For unknown reasons, Schulz changed the letter Sally draws from a “K” to a “G”; perhaps he deemed it funnier.⁠ ⁠ ✒️ Visit "The Pen is Mighty," on view through January 15, 2023, to learn more about Schulz's signature lettering style—click the link in our bio for details!⁠ ⁠ This Peanuts comic strip was first published on March 28, 1974.
