There’s a piece of Jim Morrison artwork up for auction at Lelands, and Charles M. Schultz would be outraged! Doors front man Jim Morrison was quite the cut-up, as evidenced by this humorous original artwork incorporating pasted-on Peanuts character cut-outs with his own handwritten dialogue. It is, of course, loaded with sexual overtones. The first frame depicts Snoopy growling at Pigpen, who replies, “If you bite my balls, I’ll suck your c–k.” The second frame shows Lucy pleading with Charlie Brown: “I’ll give you 15 [cents] if you’ll f–k me, Charlie Brown,” to which he replies: “Throw in your tricycle and it’s a deal, Baby.” In the third frame, Charlie Brown asks Linus, “What’s wrong kid?” to which Linus answers: “I think I got Syphilis from that whore down the street.” Snoopy gets the last word, er, sort of: “Arf, growl, ruff, bark,” to which Pigpen replies: “Cut that damn swearing out dog.” The strip is done entirely in the hand of Morrison and signed “Jim” in the upper right corner. On construction paper, the “artwork” measures 13.5″ x 3” and it is in EX-MT condition. Good grief!
