Why you gotta be so Vicious?

I went to IHOP with my parents for dinner on Wednesday night and something really made my evening. I was wearing a Christmas sweater with Snoopy and Woodstock from Peanuts on it and one of the servers said that she liked it. I thanked her and I'm still smiling at that comment.

My two favourite bouys from my current hyperfixations!

I doubt that Fraggles would know about classical music. They probably have no idea what a piano is...

idk i think they could get along :)

He's so talented.. (Infodump and explanation under the cut)

I'm hyperfixated on Peanuts and I recently watched "Play it Again, Charlie Brown" and he plays guitar in it!! And he's good!! Not like outstanding but he's good!! That's a huge success for this boy. (Also, Pigpen plays drums) so that's where the inspiration is from.

Also, I'm reading the comic chronologically and it's actually pretty interesting how many times he's practiced and played string instruments (he is NOT good there tho) there were two strips very early on about him learning violin (and sucking)

and these strips are actually the first mention of Beethoven in the comic before Schroeder was even introduced which is pretty interesting to me. Does it mean nothing? Yes. Am I Intreqed nonetheless? Yes.

There is a bit of evidence to suggest Charlie Brown does have a bit of musical knowledge/ability.

There are some more I have in mind but I'm receiving these as I write this and it's rather tedious.. But yeah how does a four year old know the difference between Beethoven and tschaikowsky? I can't even spell that without looking.

That's not to say that Charlie Brown is terribly knowledgeable on the subject, I kinda see it as him introducing Schroeder to something he finds a passing interest in and Schroeder, the autist he is, completely and totally fixating on it. He did canonically introduce him to piano actually !

Another example of him playing the violin, though it's a toy, is in this Sunday strip. I think there's one or two more of them playing together as a duo. I'm pretty sure in one of them it's a guitar and not a violin but I'm sure it's the same darn cigar box either way. (I like early Charlie Brown's ego quite a lot. He kinda got the confidence beaten out of him over the years. I can relate to that.)

I wanna draw him and Schroeder sometime bc Charlie Brown was very supportive of him when he was younger (the comics above do not prove that I promise he's very nice to the baby most of the time. Not so much with Lucy...) and ik that's like.. Retconned, but I think its rather cute and who's going to come at me over peanuts canonisity? Nobody. Anyway, that's why I drew white boy with a guitar.
