Wednesday is winding down and I’m just now putting up this week’s mash-up. I was under the weather and slept through most of the day. Sorry about that.

Peanuts has been a big part of my life since I was a kid and Miss Rudis allowed me to read her Peanuts Parade volumes in elementary school. I can’t exactly say what it was that I saw in the strip way back then but I was hooked. I went through a BIG Peanuts phase in high school. I would doodle Peanuts characters all the time. Charles Schulz hugely influences my drawing style. It’s taken me so long to doing a Peanuts set of mash-ups because I wasn’t convinced how it would work out. Well now we’re about to find out.

Character-wise it was clear that Cyran had to be Charlie Brown. He has that downtrodden thing going for him. The design here is clean so I’m satisfied with it. I just really struggled with the shoes for some reason.

That’s all for this week. Come back next week for some more Peanuts fun.
