Jock, just reading a wonderful book called Looking for Calvin and Hobbes by Nevin Martell, and he briefly mentions that sometimes when Watterson was doing his Sunday strips he would use acetate overlays. So, I'm going to be optimistic that this is one of those, and not the "animation cel" it was advertised as. I'm not sure if the background was ever used in anything, but I can always hope.
