We once had a client in Long Beach who insisted their nickname was Pigpen.
Not because of their clutter, but because they insisted they were a terrible artist. They felt like their drawings were more like scribbles than fine art.
Well, scribbles on paper can be more valuable than Paris Hilton's trash. Depends on who you ask and what the market will pay.
Case in point: Philip Weiss Auctions just sold some original Charles Schulz comic strips. Three of them – two dailies and a Sunday – sold for a combined $89, 275 at a multi-estate sale held the weekend of September 8-9, in Oceanside, New York, on Long Island.
Additional strips will go up for auction at Weiss' next auction October 20-21. Up for sale is a 'Great Pumpkin' Sunday page and a baseball Sunday page.
Pigpen doesn't look so bad after all! Maybe he just needs a makeover?
