Lucy Van Pelt with Schroeder, a sculpture that aptly demonstrates Lucy's unrequited love. Since cartoonist and illustrator Charles Schultz was "one of our boys," Rice Park in downtown St. Paul has a number of his figures immortalized in sculptures that are scattered around the park.

I wonder if they have a statue of Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.
ReplyDeleteThere is a park near us in Scottsdale that has recently added a statue of the Family Circus character, as a tribute to the kate local cartoonist Bill Keane who created and drew that comic strip.
This is way too cool! I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Hope to see some of the others someday.
ReplyDeleteCute, even if I don't know who Lucy Van Pelt is.But good choice for S.

ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! Is Snoopy there too?
ReplyDeleteThat would make one smile as they walk by. At least I hope.
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear the notes from a Beethoven symphony plunked from that piano. Charles Schultz was one of my favorite cartoonist. I think his characters will live forever!
ReplyDeletethat's cute!
ReplyDeleteSurely they make everyone smile!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a nice sculpture!
ReplyDeleteImmediately recognized the pose, but Lucy must be more distinctive than Schroeder
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute! I would love to see the others, Thanks foe visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeletePoor Schroeder. I wonder if it ever occurred to him to lock the front door so she'd leave him alone.
This is a great photo - I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! Thanks for sharing, Kate.

Schultz lived in Santa Rosa, CA at the end of his life and was quite a presence in the community. At one point there were many fiberglass versions of his characters that local artists painted. And he also donated an ice skating rink to the city.
ReplyDelete(I won't be posting any photos of the Orangerie. Photos weren't allowed inside and we stood in a big crush of humanity outside as we waited to get in - 45 minutes despite our museum passes. The unprivileged were waiting up to 4 hours. But it was well worth the wait...which for us was quite extended since the museum was closed the first time we went to Paris.)
Very cute picture!
