Today would've been the 100th birthday of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz. To mark the occasion, several of Schulz's beloved characters are appearing in a number of today's contemporary strips, including Ray Billingsley's Curtis:
Of course, that ain't all. Here's a list of strips appearing in the Albany Times-Union (and in other parts of the country) that are saluting Schulz and Peanuts.
Garfield: Snoopy appears in the final panel, holding a 100th birthday cake.
Zits: Jerry Scott (ex-Nancy) and Jim Borgman gave Charlie & Lucy a brief cameo.
Adam @ Home: Brian Bassett's everyman father figure rests on Snoopy's doghouse.
Macanudo: A single silent strip shows a certain football flying across the panel.
For Better or For Worse: Lynn Johnston's cast wishes Schulz a happy birthday.
Dustin: Steve Kelley & Jeff Parker's relatively new strip pays homage to the Charlie Brown & Lucy football gag.
Non Sequitor: Wiley Miller draws Lucy and her psychiatric help kiosk on a mountain top.
Speed Bump: Dave Coverly has Lucy, Linus, Charlie, & Snoopy paying tribute to their creator.
Marvin: Tom Armstrong's titular toddler finds that not everyone loves Peanuts.
Blondie: Snoopy visits the Bumsteads.
Beetle Bailey: Beetle meets Snoopy.
Peanuts is in perpetual reprint, and remains the lasting legacy of Schulz.
