When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course, and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. Charles M. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanutsand that was what sold.

But many who read Peanuts in their original Sunday papers remain fond of the striking coloring, which makes for a surprisingly different reading experience. It is for these fans (and for Peanuts fans in general who want to experience this alternate/original version) that we now present a series of larger, Sundays-only Peanuts reprints. As with most strips, Peanuts showed by far the quickest and richest development in its fir
