There was a time I was totally into Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang. I loved the drawings, the comic strip and the cartoon...I couldn't get enough of any of it. And then I just kind of got tired of the same jokes and the same story lines and I don't know if it was the overall saturation of the brand into everything, but I just wasn't a big fan anymore.
Seeing that the movie was coming out reinvigorated the fan in me. I was suspicious that they were doing a movie in CG, but the characters translated over quite well.
So recently having Charlie Brown on the brain (figuratively), I seem to be drawing a lot of mashups with them. My favorite is still Charlie Brown as Pinhead, because his bald head lends itself to it. But I've recently found a series of drawings that I want to do - and this is the first bit....a hint of what's to come:
