A (probably) Schulz art auction

The National Cartoonist Society have put together a charity auction to help a family having particular trouble… and they have a piece of Peanuts art for sale.

And this piece is bugging me. It’s familiar… but I can’t tell you where its from. Folks want to be absolutely certain it’s Schulz, and that would be easier if I could point out where it’s from. So go, take a look, and if you know where it’s from, email me at questions@AAUGH.com and let me know. (And hey, if you have a copy of The Women’s Sports Foundation Cookbook, check that one for me, please; I can’t put my hands on my copy of that at the moment, and this would be a logical spot illo in there, although it looks to me like it’s an earlier work.)
