Very scarce and desirable ''Red Baron'' Peanuts comic strip, hand-drawn by Charles Schulz. Appearing Sunday, 1 January 1967 and featuring Snoopy and Charlie Brown, this 15-panel strip is one of only eight ''Peanuts'' Sunday strips to run on New Years day. Strip features Snoopy as the Flying Ace, comically fantasizing about shooting down his WWI nemesis, the ''Red Baron''. Tired of Snoopy's ruckus, the European tavern owner in Snoopy's dreams unceremoniously kicks him out of his doghouse in the pouring rain. Luckily, he always has Charlie Brown, with whom he reigns in the New Year. United Feature Syndicate label appears on second to last panel. 22.5'' x 15.5'' strip is matted to an overall size of 29.75'' x 22.5''. Very light creasing. Near fine.
