Lucy offers to hold the football for Charlie Brown while he runs up to kick it. May I assume you know what generally happens next?
But in this Sunday comic strip from 1983, things are different. For once, Charlie Brown doesn't take the bait. How extraordinary!
Bonhams San Francisco is offering this original artwork by Charles M. Schulz for $18,000 to $25,000, which is not so outlandish for Sunday Peanuts strips these days. But I think this is an outstanding Sparky strip and it offers collectors a chance to own a unique example of the famous Lucy and the Football gag. I can imagine fierce competition for this one on February 17. Who knows how high the hammer price could go?
