Charles Schulz/Peanuts was the Beatles of comic strips. After Peanuts, all comic strips were one of two things: influenced by Peanuts, or lied about not being influenced by Peanuts.

Ah, good, I'm glad this was shared. It got a little emotional reading the paper this morning. My favorites: Bizarro and Rose is Rose .

I think the best ones were the ones that didn’t just cheap out and draw Peanuts characters (which, to be honest isn’t that hard) with a “Happy Birthday Sparky.”

I think Gil Thorpe was the one that I was most surprised that I liked it. Dick Tracy also gets bonus points for drawing Snoopy, Woodstock and Charlie Brown in its own style.

There was a great one shortly after his death. My favorites then were Tank McNamara and Boondocks.

Mine is Family Circus, making sure to be as Family Circus-y as possible and not make their tribute funny or interesting.

If there was no Family Circus, there would be no Dysfunctional Family Circus.
