Not noticeable in the stock photo, it's also translucent!

Hopefully another channel got them, if not it will really be the end of an era. :(

Hopefully Apple will at least offer them free like they initially did.

MeTV is commemorating Charles Schulz's 100th birthday this month with debuts of A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Come Home. What a treat!

Today marks what would've been Charles Schulz's 100th birthday. What a beautiful legacy - joy, happiness, comfort, smiles and so much laughter. Happy birthday, Sparky! Nearly all comics today are paying tribute: Clickable.

Some of my favorite tribute strips for this day: :)

Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson

Heart of the City by Steenz

Rosebuds by Supr Dee

Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis & Shelley Pleger

Bizzaro by Dan Piraro & Wayno

.. but perhaps most amazing is Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau; the daily strip has been in 'reruns' for the past several years .. but today's strip (from 1997!) pays tribute to Schulz, all the same.


side note: it's really cool to see Reply All on a newspaper page (even if it's just the single-panel Reply All Lite spin-off). I thoroughly enjoy that strip .. though, other people around me often wonder why. :mrgreen:

Almost all the comic tributes are collected here and in color! Some are pretty clever, one of my favorites is the Macanudo strip.
