Peanuts (2 points)

 Peanuts

I read the early comic strips of "Peanuts" from 1950 and more late ones from 1985. There some significant differences I noticed. 

Artists developed his style and style of his characters. Their big heads are still significant, but some features are now very recognizable. Like the shape of the eyes, nose, or the way they walk. The more significant change happened to the dog. First, he was just a small puppy, and he was like a side character. But in more later comics, he became more significant and now a fully developed character independently. 

The structure of Peanuts is genius. And it stayed the same throughout the history—four panels in each story, black and white drawing with no shading. Very fun and easy to read and fast to draw, that is why there are so many of them. Thought the style might seem very simple, it is tough to make a complete joke in just four shots. But Charles Shulz makes it amazingly. Sometimes jokes are verbal, as the moment with Charlie Brown and his little girlfriend. When she asked him, will he love her, even if she will grow up unsuccessful. Charlie says, "Of course", but when he asked her the same question, She says that this is complicated. 

In these panels, almost nothing changed in drawings. All the humor is in words. But there are, of course, a lot of strips with action humor, and usually, it is the moments with the pup. When he lies his head on Charlie, but then he leaves, and the dog falls.

Cute and funny situations that are pleasing to read - that what is "Peanuts"
