Esterbrook x Peanuts, a lifelong friendship

Did you know Snoopy was born thanks to an Esterbrook pen? Charles M. Schulz himself, creator of Peanuts, drew for years the adventures of Charlie Brown and his lovable beagle with an Esterbrook 914. Today, more than half a century later, the iconic American brand pays tribute to that bond with a collection that celebrates friendship, creativity, and shared memories: Esterbrook x Peanuts.

Two legends sharing one spirit

Since 1858, Esterbrook has been a symbol of craftsmanship and expressive writing. Its pens have accompanied presidents, writers, and artists through defining moments of modern history. Meanwhile, Peanuts—the most widely read comic strip of the 20th century—captured the hearts of millions with its tenderness, humor, and everyday wisdom. Both worlds, writing and comics, share one essence: expressing real emotions through simple, honest lines.

Charles M. Schulz and his faithful Esterbrook

Schulz never hid his love for Esterbrook pens. His tool of choice was the Esterbrook 914, with which he drew Snoopy’s first smile and Charlie Brown’s thoughtful expressions. In a time before digital tools, ink was his language—and the pen, his bridge between imagination and millions of readers. That’s why this collaboration isn’t just a special edition; it’s a tribute to the power of writing to bring dreams to life.

A collection that revives the magic

The Esterbrook x Peanuts collection draws inspiration from the values that defined Schulz’s work: friendship, creativity, and the gentle nostalgia of small gestures. The pens’ bodies feature colors that recall the original strips—soft yellows, creamy whites, and glossy blacks—while the clips and metallic accents echo the elegant confidence of ink drawings.

Each piece comes in a case illustrated with iconic Snoopy and Charlie Brown scenes, as if time paused for a moment to remind us of what truly matters: that writing is still an act of tenderness and humanity.

Esterbrook x Peanuts reminds us that handwriting doesn’t just communicate—it connects us: with our ideas, with those who receive our words, and with a slower, more mindful sense of time. A writing instrument doesn’t just fill pages; it inspires us to pause, observe, and enjoy the moment. Like Snoopy atop his red doghouse, dreaming impossible stories, writing with an Esterbrook x Peanuts is an act of freedom and imagination.

From nostalgia to collecting

Beyond its beauty, this edition carries historical and emotional value that makes it a true collector’s piece. It’s a tribute to one of the most authentic links between the art of drawing and the art of writing. At Iguana, you’ll find each piece of this collaboration, full of charm and ready to tell its own story.

In an increasingly digital world, a pen like the Esterbrook x Peanuts brings back the joy of writing by hand, hearing the soft scratch of the nib on paper, and watching ink turn into memory. As Schulz himself said, “Happiness is a new pencil”… or, in this case, a brand-new Esterbrook. It’s an invitation to treasure moments, smiles, and memories in every word you write.

Esterbrook’s collaborations: a legacy of creativity

Esterbrook doesn’t just preserve its legacy—it reinvents it. In recent years, the brand has launched collaborations that connect writing with art, culture, and modern design. Its partnership with The Coffee Monsterz Co. gave rise to a limited-edition Estie with a creamy body, subtle latte-like swirls, and packaging full of playful stationery details.

Another highlight is its collaboration with Japanese boutique Bungubox, under the poetic name Kachō fū getsu (“Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon”), better known as Kingfisher. Crafted in shimmering DiamondCast resin, this edition pays tribute to the fleeting beauty of nature through subtle elegance—from nib to case.

These partnerships reflect Esterbrook’s philosophy: creating writing instruments that are much more than objects. They’re collectible pieces that tell stories, connect communities, and celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of the analog world. The collaboration with Peanuts is a natural step in that journey—after all, who better than Snoopy to remind us that writing is, above all, an act of imagination and play?
