Peanuts Sunday goes for $100K+

i really doubt that the peanuts went for that kind of money - i think it was bait

Good grief. 113k. That is almost beyond words. I love Peanuts also...but would never consider paying that type of money to get a Sunday strip. As some have mentioned before...I would also prefer a Calvin & Hobbes piece. I can't wait till those pieces get released in mass to the market.

 

Sadly, I'm not sure that's ever likely to happen since Watterson has left the art to an institution (Ohio University?).

Hmmmm. I thought I remember reading somewhere, that he was poking fun at all of the people who were paying huge amounts for the small amout of pieces available because he said at some point they will be available in great quantity.

how many peanuts strips are in archives or collections- some odd 50 years/ 350 pieces per year = 17,500 pieces --- yikes

Universities often have to move their holdings, and will do so unless their contract specifically stipulates against it. Not sure what kind of contract Watterson has in place.
