With “Peanuts” being a strip with such an iconically simplified style, it’s sometimes easy, for me at least, to forget that Schulz probably had a great deal of artistic skill outside of just the “Peanuts” stuff, as most cartoonists do. I say all of this because the ink detail on the shoe is both not the typical “Peanuts” style yet is still quite well-drawn, or so I think.
