Well, now your can!

This past Sunday, May 27th, Heritage Auctions has opened bidding to the public on Team Cul De Sac. All of the original pieces of art have been donated by some of the biggest, best, and brightest names in comics. And best of all, 100% of all proceeds from the auction are going to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. One hundred percent.

Where else can you expect to find an original Bill Watterson oil painting (of Cul De Sac character Petey Otterloop) currently, going for less than $3,000.
