Before Peanuts, Charles M. Schulz created 'Li'l Folks' for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. These early drawings featured prototypes of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, with a notably different, more simplistic art style. The characters were less refined but showed the early foundations of Schulz's artistic vision.

The first Peanuts strip appears in seven newspapers. The initial art style featured larger heads on the characters, rounder features, and a more rigid, geometric appearance. Charlie Brown's head was more oval-shaped, and the lines were notably thicker than in later years.

During these early years, Schulz began refining his technique. Characters became more expressive, with smoother lines and more detailed facial features. Snoopy began his transition from a regular dog to a more anthropomorphic character, though still walking on all fours.

While maintaining the beloved classic style, Schulz's artwork showed signs of natural aging, with slightly tremulous lines that added character to the strips. The artistic focus shifted more toward facial expressions and emotional conveyance.
