A production #animation cel of #LinusVanPelt from #CharlieBrown - not sure what episode but 1970s or 80s.
Not an original background but I'm pretty sure it's a Linus quote (from around 1959), and I think this often sums things up...

I've collected a few #CharlieBrown / #Peanuts #animationart pieces over the years. It's something that's stuck in my head since I was a kid. Here's a production #animation cel featuring the character #Linus. This one's from the late 1960s or early 70s, before the studio switched to using photocopying to put the original drawings onto cellulose. In a change the normal approach this cel has paint applied to the top of the cel, for the blushed look of his cheeks.
