SC🎹 It’s #SchroederDay! Schroeder made his debut in the Peanuts comic strip as a bright-eyed baby on this day in 1951!
A moody musical genius, Schroeder has been playing the piano since before he could walk. He also enjoys baseball and being with friends, but he’s never happier than when playing a Beethoven piece—even if the black keys of his piano are just painted on. If only he could get Lucy (and sometimes, Snoopy) to leave him alone long enough to make it through the first movement of the sonata!
TRIVIA: Schroeder’s devotion to Beethoven was inspired by Charles M. Schulz’s own love of classical music. Schulz chose Beethoven as Schroeder’s muse because he believed words beginning with “B” sounded funny...like blockhead and beagle!
This Peanuts comic strip was first published on March 13, 1963.
