If you go to GoComics, lots of the currently-running comics are doing a tribute, as is Zits. ---

I really liked Dick Tracy’s cartoonist’s take: > **[Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Shelley Pleger for November 26, 2022 |...](https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2022/11/26)** > > November 26, 2022 ---

GoComics is currently working for me. Three out of five of my strips (Garfield, Pluggers, Breaking Cat News) referenced Schulz, Pickles did not. Calvin & Hobbes could not be expected to, since they stopped producing new strips 25 years ago. ---

There’s also this, from Bill Amend (creator of FoxTrot): [https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/316542724\_679946180158248\_9051954080160310649\_n.jpg?stp=cp6\_dst-jpg\_p526x296&\_nc\_cat=103&ccb=1-7&\_nc\_sid=8bfeb9&\_nc\_ohc=lbxzIdTAj-cAX9sleHZ&tn=EM5shSiV3YTEXLnN&\_nc\_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00\_AfDamiok5joRytKe2BLVOqg87ROUdu0\_y74LQy16aUsCIA&oe=6386B4FC](https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/316542724_679946180158248_9051954080160310649_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_p526x296&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=lbxzIdTAj-cAX9sleHZ&tn=EM5shSiV3YTEXLnN&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfDamiok5joRytKe2BLVOqg87ROUdu0_y74LQy16aUsCIA&oe=6386B4FC) (I hope that shows up okay) ---

I followed the strip faithfully as a kid. When in the 1960’s I spent summers at my grandparent’s home and they didn’t get a daily paper, I had mom cut out the daily strips and mail them to me at the end of the week. I continued to follow the strip until it ended. 5 minutes after reading the very final strip, I heard Schulz had passed away. My hat’s off to you again, Sparky. ---

My dad and I frequently stopped at the Oases on the Illinois Tollway during my summer vacations. They always stocked paperback compilations of _ **Peanuts** _ strips going back to 1950. By 1965, I had every collection published up to that point. My dad died exactly one week after Schulz’s passing.
