Just found this reference to Charles Schulz being one of three listed celebrities in attendance at a 1956 Minneapolis beauty queen event. The other two celebs? Natalie Wood and Barbara Lang. Become a cartoonist, be surrounded by beautiful woman. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

Natalie Wood, 1958. She would only have been 18 at the event 2 years earlier, but already beautiful.

This.... this can't be... I mean, it's from a 1961 high school student paper, so it has to only -look- like the Little Angel is promoting medicinal reefer, right??

A dressed anthropomorphic cow, elbows on the table, has a though balloon with a picture of Little Angel wearing a sash marked "South" and holding up an oblong object, maybe it's suppose to be a feather drawn in solid black, with a circle and a Red Cross-type cross on it. Caption: Wouldn't it be wonderful if every Southite was a "Good Guy."

This angel is off-model.

A totally different little angel, dark hair, dark clothing, halo attached by a rod as if it's a costume, There's a UF button on the garment. Looks like a generic piece of clipart

This angel is kosher!

It's the original Schulz drawing of Little Angel, only the letter U in a circle has been added to the garment.

This one has all the stuff!

Angel is holding up a torch, wearing a sash that says "the United Fund of Alexandria-Pineville, In.", and has the words "I Gave" his his garment.

The reworks were of varying quality, as this gremlin shows.

A badly-traced version of the angel, with "United Fund?" on his garment.

Ah, he's got a friend!

Angel is holding up sign saying "Fair Share", but another, feminine angel is peeking out around him, holding a sign that says "Give".

The figure was reworked, often locally. This one seems to keep Schulz's lines, flipping a copy of the left side over.

In 1961, Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz created "Little Angel" (a.k.a. "Little Good Guy"), a promotional character for the United Fund charity (a.k.a. United Way). 🧵

Amazon incentivized pricing books at at least $9.99... to the degree that they would pay for $1.50 more per copy if I made that the list price rather than $8.99. So with a bit of hassle, I raised the cover price on this book to $9.99... and they immediately put it on sale for $8.99. Business?

The amount of energy going into making the world worse...

Cover to a Portugese biography of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz by Marcos Rozeno fetures a blatanly AI/LLM image of what is supposed to be Schulz sitting at the side of a drawing table which is either at an angle or flat depending on which part you are looking at. His left hand is poised to draw with a stylus, his right arm is going into the drawing table and through a drawing of Charlie Brown and a one-eyed Snoopy.
