Peanuts: Happy New Year from the Bakers of Butternut Bread

Fewer than three weeks into writing this blog I happened upon some original artwork by Charles M. Schulz from an advertising campaign for Butternut Bread. The resulting post remains my most popular ever. One of the many pieces of promotional art that I had documented for that piece came up on eBay recently and sold for a surprisingly inexpensive price. Snoopy, Linus, Charlie Brown and Lucy wish you a "Happy New Year from the bakers of Butternut Bread!"

eBay Bid History
It's a five-day auction, but all four bids are placed in the final 40 seconds. Unusually, it is the first bid chronologically that wins it.
