Amazing Charles Schulz Peanuts Basketball Snoopy Original Daily Comic Strip Art
Amazing Snoopy basketball strip presented to Dr. J. by Sparky Original hand-inked four panel Peanuts daily comic strip, dated October 4, 1984, on an off-white 24 x 7 sheet of off-white artist¹s cardstock. Strip depicts Snoopy and Woodstock playing basketball, with Snoopy realizing the term one-on-one doesn’t quite apply to Woodstock due to his height. Signed vertically in black ink in the last panel, “Schulz,” and also signed and inscribed along the top border in black felt tip to basketball Hall of Famer Julius Erving, “For Dr. J with friendship & admiration Charles M. Schulz (Sparky).” Strip is affixed to a slightly larger piece of foam core. In fine condition, with an unobtrusive central vertical fold between the second and third panel and a few spots of Liquid Paper to second panel. Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Erving stating the strip belonged to him and his family, and also accompanied by an unsigned color satin-finish 10 x 8 photo of Schulz holding an autographed basketball presented to him but Erving. Any Schulz strip is highly desirable, but one with such association, intimate signature, and sports content presented to a basketball legend, complete with provenance, elevates this strip to the upper echelon of available strips. Double matted and framed with Optimum Museum Acrylic glass (like plexi-glass) that is 99% UV protected with acid free matting. Ready to hang in your office, living room, or man-cave! One of a kind!
