Patrick McDonnell pays tribute to Schulz, Peanuts

1 minute 10 comments

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:

  1. Cut from the same cloth…Love Mutts too, Patrick!

  2. Love both these strips. Both are in my all time top ten.

  3. I think every comic done is a tribute to Mr Shulz. Even if it wasn’t intended

  4. @Birdie. Who the hell is Shulz?! Half of ANY tribute is spelling the person’s name correctly.

  5. I meant Schulz, golly gee willikers Marc

  6. 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.

  7. Both strips have a built-in magic.

  8. Hey! Both of the characters in those two panels are the same!

  9. 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.

  10. Yo, that McDonnell fella is pretty darn talented. I like how he spells his name!
