From M K Brown to Charlie Brown

The Cartoon Art Museum also maintains a standing exhibition (it has a little Edward Gorey corner, for instance). They include the original pen line art for various cartoons, so you can see them as they were drawn, rather than as they were later reproduced in various newspapers etc.

Take this Charlie Brown one, for instance. )

I had to look it up, because I was thinking he had Parkinson's. this is what wiki says:
In the 1980s Schulz complained that "sometimes my hand shakes so much I have to hold my wrist to draw." This led to the erroneous assumption that Schulz had Parkinson's Disease. However, according to a letter from his physician, placed in the Archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum by his widow, Schulz had essential tremor, a condition alleviated by beta blockers

His linework was so clean. I tried to copy some of his Snoopy character linework once and just couldn't do it.
