    Very nice!

    What next? A “Dilbert” version of Working Daze?

    Or maybe a “Calvin & Hobbes” one?

    Thought I was losing it for a moment, “Peanuts” appears a few strips above “Working Daze” in my feed… This artwork is so close to Schulz’s style, I’m embarrassed to admit how much time it took my brain to understand what I was looking at!

    Yeah I sent Charlies Schulz a bunch of gags when I was 18 offering to help him write Peanuts and maybe even take over when he retires. He called me up to thank me, but said he will be the only one to write or draw Peanuts while he is alive. He did like the gags said I captured the sprit. Scott actually called Mr. Schulz something I never would have done.

    Excellent job capturing Shultz’s style, drawing and writing wise, but unlike good ol’ Charlie Brown, at least Jay got the little red-haired, I mean blonde-haired, girl. BTW, is that her sleeping in bed next to him? SINNERS! (Sorry, I used to be religious and that’s one of those things that I still haven’t fully deprogrammed out of my brain yet.)

    Great gag, guys! It took me until the frame with Jay/Charlie Brown for my brain to tell me something wasn’t quite right. Then I looked at the header and read the “Poor ol’ Jay Johnstone.” Glasses and hair on Charlie Brown? Nope!…….Jay may be gullible like Charlie Brown, but so are we all, at some point in our lives.

    Enough people have corrected iammu that I don’t think he/she is truly sincere. I think he/she believes the post to be humorous. If iammu cared, the correction would be made.

    I am so enjoying today’s Sunday comics. Very nice tribute to “Peanuts” and Charles Schultz. still hoped for the success of kicking that football. But it should never happen. Rita is Nancy. Promises,, promises. Poor Jay. But he does have Andromeda

    I loved the whole “history of Working Daze” series, and I am very happy to see this sort of thing continuing! I recall one “Peanuts” take off before (were there more?). Both initially fooled me into thinking I had accidentally clicked on “Peanuts”. My very first thought was “Wow, I hadn’t realized that Rita looks so much like Lucy (or vice versa) – TSR must have copied Charles Schultz when he designed her!”.Have Calvin and Hobbs shown up here? I only remember seeing them meeting Maria.

    I always thought Charlie Brown might have a branch somewhere on Popeye’s family tree. Both had hair, but it was pretty close to flesh-colored in the comics.

    If I recall correctly, Charlie Brown’s father was a barber. Maybe in some roundabout way CB’s hairstyle and father’s occupation are related. I had always figured him as blond like Sally, but with very closely cropped hair. Better to identify him as “the round headed kid” that way.
