PEANUTS AND THE POSTAL SERVICE.

SCHULZ, CHARLES. 1922-2000. Original 8-panel Peanuts Sunday comic strip, pen and ink and pencil on artist board, 432 x 610 mm, signed "Schulz" in final panel, hand-written date "5-19" in lower left corner of panel 6, printed copyright statement dated 1991 in panel 3, printed title pasted into first panel, some browning around edges, light soiling to verso.

Charles Schulz's fantastic 1991 Sunday Peanuts comic taking on the United States Post Office and the proliferation of junk mail. After an altercation with Snoopy, Linus is tossed into the mailbox, to which Lucy responds: "More junk mail." Direct mail proliferated more during the 1980s than at any other time, leading to the 1991 Congressional Hearings on the problem. Representative Charles Hayes summed it up, "The perception is that most mail is garbage." The rise of the internet would soon make it a non-issue.
