It wasn’t drawn by Bill – he was one of three animators (read the credits) – there’s a difference, a big one – it was designed by another, it was directed by another, the color design was by another, etc. – please don’t embarrass yourself or your readers – Bill did great work as the director (and animator) of the Peanuts stuff, but Bill would never claim to be an illustrator (especially not on someone else’s short)….
