Enesco Peanuts Snoopy with Woodstock in Nest Figurine

Q: What's with the ears being checkerboard and the "tattoo" on the body? Looks dumb this way.

Hello! The checkered ears and distinctive markings are Jim Shores’s Trademark. If you Google Jim Shore Wikipedia your learn and read all about him and why he puts those markings on all his artwork including DISNEY and many other figurines that he creates. I didn’t like him at first either but I know I have close to 100 snoopy peanut figurines by Jim sure. Every year they go up in value
