Original hand-inked three panel Peanuts daily comic strip, dated September 18, 1992, on a 19.5 x 6 piece of off-white artist’s cardstock. Strip shows Lucy standing in the outfield and proclaiming “Just remember, I can take anything that life throws at me!” and then taking a fly ball off the head and clarifying her original statement afterwards. Signed in black ink in the last panel, “Schulz.” Double matted and framed to an overall size of 26 x 12.5. Making her debut in 1952, just two short years after the Peanuts comic strip first ran, Lucy Van Pelt burst into the popular daily, becoming the high-voltage catalyst to ignite the comedic fire under the lovable members of the original Peanuts gang. Lucy’s take-charge attitude and annoying self-confidence immediately cast her as one of the favorite characters of the strip as well as an unlikely, but powerful, role model for men and women alike. To ardent fans of the strip, she is best loved for being bossy and for her charmingly crabby disposition that is solely her own. In very fine condition. Great, crisply penned strip with a very desirable baseball theme. R&R COA.
