A 1983 Charles Schulz Peanuts comic strip has sold for $17,080 at an entertainment memorabilia auction in Los Angeles, Bonhams & Butterfields said. The pen and ink illustration, which shows Sally asking Charlie Brown to help her with a report on Charles Dickens, was the top-selling lot at Sunday's auction, the memorabilia dealer said. The comic strip had been expected to bring between $10,000 and 15,000. The sale also featured rare photos of Marilyn Monroe, in addition to a contract she signed; the handbag Estelle Getty carried as her character Sophia on The Golden Girls, as well as the Emmy and Golden Globe awards she won for the role; and costumes from the private collection of actress Debbie Reynolds.

Estelle Getty's son, Carl Gettleman, said Getty's former co-stars from The Golden Girls did not attend her funeral in Los Angeles Thursday. Getty died this week at the age of 84.
