<B>Charles Schulz - Peanuts Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 9-22-57 (United Feature Syndicate, 1957).</B></I> Poor ol' gullible Charlie Brown. Once again, he has fallen for Lucy's insincere vow about changing her ways when it comes to holding for a placekick. And, once again, the Lou Groza wannabe winds up flat on his back with a mighty whump. The football kickoff is a famous fall ritual in the <I>Peanuts</B></I> strip, and this is a fine example of the game of trust and betrayal Charlie and Lucy play. The expressions on Charlie's face vary from annoyance, to bitterness, to determination, and finally, to dismay. Meanwhile, Lucy dupes Charlie with her trustworthy smile. With just a few simple pen lines, Schulz makes his characters come alive, and their actions reveal the inner workings of the human condition. The overall size of the paper is approximately 15.5" x 23.5", in Very Good condition. The art paper has been professionally mounted to another piece of board, is trimmed close to the top and bottom panel borders, and retains its original <I>Peanuts</B></I> logo. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
