1955 Peanuts Daily "AAUGHH!" dated August 24, 1955
An original early four-panel Peanuts daily strip dated August 24, 1955, featuring Lucy and Linus in one of the strip’s early philosophical exchanges. Lucy wonders aloud whether giants may be watching humans the same way humans watch ants, prompting Linus’s unforgettable reaction in the final panel: "AAUGHH!" Signed by Schulz in the final panel and additionally inscribed in the third panel, "To Kay from Charles M. Schulz." Dating to the formative early years of Peanuts. Pre-sale estimate: $20,000 to $30,000.
1959 Peanuts Daily "Character Traits" dated January 1, 1959
An original New Year’s Day four-panel Peanuts daily strip dated January 1, 1959, featuring Lucy presenting Linus with a lengthy list of his faults, only for Linus to deliver the classic punchline: "These are character traits!" Signed by Schulz in the last panel. A superb vintage Peanuts daily from the late 1950s, capturing Lucy’s sharp personality and Linus’s thoughtful wit at their best. Pre-sale estimate: $20,000 to $30,000.
What Is Original Charles Schulz Peanuts Artwork Worth?
Original Charles M. Schulz artwork is among the most consistently sought-after material in the original comic art market. Schulz drew Peanuts for nearly 50 years, producing over 17,000 strips, but the supply of original artwork available to collectors is far smaller than that figure suggests. Much has been donated to institutions, resides in long-held private collections, or was never retained by the families who received it as gifts.
At auction, original signed Peanuts daily strips have sold in the range of $15,000 to well in excess of $50,000 including buyer’s premium, depending on date, characters, content, condition, and provenance. Sunday pages can bring significantly more than dailies, in some cases substantially so, depending on the date and subject matter. The earliest material from the 1950s consistently achieves the strongest prices, particularly when fresh to market.
Early Li’l Folks drawings, which predate the Peanuts strip and represent Schulz’s first published work, are among the rarest items in the category. Weiss Auctions has sold examples across all of these types over many years.
Phil Weiss and Charles Schulz Peanuts on Antiques Roadshow
Phil Weiss has appeared on PBS Antiques Roadshow appraising Charles Schulz Peanuts original artwork. In one memorable segment, Phil encountered a guest who had worked directly with Schulz for 12 years developing the Hallmark Peanuts greeting card line, bringing in an extraordinary collection of original strips created specifically for that partnership. That collection ultimately made its way to the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California.
In a separate segment, Phil evaluated a signed 1955 Peanuts daily strip, discussing the market for early Schulz dailies and the factors that affect value: condition, date, characters, and freshness to market.
