Duly seen and noted on the eBay platform is a signed copy of By Supper Possessed (1988) by Charles M. Schulz. As is frequently the case, seller rialtos does all the heavy lifting so your blogger can sit back and enjoy the scenery. The book was sold on July 18, six months being as good a gestation time for a blog post as any.

On a collaborative souvenir drawing, four leading cartoonists drew their classic characters: Batman by Bob Kane, Woody Woodpecker by Walter Lantz, Snoopy by Charles M. Schulz, and Dagwood by Dean Young. These artists came together on an unknown date, or dates, from the worlds of newspaper comic strips, comic books, and animation. The characters were all popular, but there isn't all that much synergy between them.
Nevertheless, when bidding hit $1,500 with ten bids placed a full four days before the April 27 auction, I was pretty sure this set of souvenir sketches was as good as sold. But the estimate was an ambitious $2,500 to $3,500 and the reserve, undisclosed, was never reached. Why set it so high? I recommend reserves be set at half the low estimate. Sellers may or may not be pleased with the result of this strategy, but either way the market will set the price and, one hopes, move the merchandise. It's no achievement to be left holding an unsold piece that you want to unload and numerous bidders want to possess.

In 2017, the versatile R. Sikoryak worked the voluminous iTunes terms and conditions into a graphic novel populated by many recognizable, if somewhat scruffy, comic characters. Having agreed to such terms and conditions myself over the years in various versions, I thought it might finally be time to read them. The author was at MoCCA Fest last weekend, making it the ideal opportunity to pick up a signed—and bearded—copy.

Christmas is Together-Time by Charles M. Schulz was published in 1964, one year before "A Charlie Brown Christmas" first appeared on television. While the book might not have the catchiest title, at least the copy belonging to the Floripes makes up for it with an original drawing of Snoopy wearing his festive holiday stocking cap. Raptis rare books has had it listed at $3800 on AbeBooks for the past year.

What can a cartoonist add to a first day cover? Often not much, but once in a while everything on the envelope comes together synergistically. One of the best of these covers I've seen is an air mail postal envelope with a printed cachet honoring Charles Lindbergh's 1927 nonstop flight from New York to Paris. The FDC is embellished in ink by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. He has added a drawing of World War I flying ace Snoopy flying what any aviation buff will tell you is a Sopwith Camel.
