Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell is paying tribute to Charles Schulz and Peanuts in a story-line that runs this week. Sparky once called Mutts “one of the best comic strips of all time” and this week Patrick tips his hat back.
Here’s a sneak peak for a couple of panels to run later this week:
You can read Mutts on DailyINK.com.
Cut from the same cloth…Love Mutts too, Patrick!
Love both these strips. Both are in my all time top ten.
I think every comic done is a tribute to Mr Shulz. Even if it wasn’t intended
@Birdie. Who the hell is Shulz?! Half of ANY tribute is spelling the person’s name correctly.
I meant Schulz, golly gee willikers Marc
I agree 100% with Schulz. Mutts is one of the all-time great strips, and it’s frustrating to me that it isn’t carried in the paper where I live now.
Both strips have a built-in magic.
Hey! Both of the characters in those two panels are the same!
At least three key similarities I see in ‘Peanuts” and “Mutts” are the gentle humor, the character sensitivity, and the minimalist drawings which bring all that out so well.
BTW, I bet that if Schulz had seen “Cul de Sac,” he’d also praise Richard Thompson.
Yo, that McDonnell fella is pretty darn talented. I like how he spells his name!
