JumpStart by Robb Armstrong for November 26, 2022

I thought this one slipped by the moment at first. Nice!

Today is the 100th birthday of Charles “Sparky” Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, so we’re gonna get a lot of congrats today for Schulz!

Another amazing Schultz tribute, this time from one of his friends. Robb is both a good friend of charles when he was alive and is a great expert on the man, having given a lot to AppleTV+ documentary on him and really gotten why the strip was so great. It’s also nice to see what I belive to be one of the first major black newspaper strips (Please correct me if i’m wrong) honor one of the first well done black characters in comic strip history.

Just as long as they don’t let Lucy have the football!

I wasn’t sure this was a “Peanuts” tribute until I saw Woodstock in the last panel. Nicely done, Robb. I hope your 100th birthday is as fondly remembered.

Look at the first panel at Dad’s Comic Pages and you will also see Snoopy in WW1 Flying Ace ‘Helmet’ also sleeping on his house.

I love love love that Franklin is in this one!!! :-D

Who?

I would guess that everyone knows Franklin’s last name is Armstrong.

Well done, Robb!

Nice job incorporating Franklin into the strip!

CAMEO!!

This and Adam are my favorites so far. I’m also reading strips that I don’t normally read because of the tributes. Once again, Sparky has us turning to the “funnies” for a laugh, a thought, and an inspiration.

Super strip, Robb!

cool, even Jumpstart is doing the celebration. :D

With a special appearance by Franklin Armstrong of the Peanuts fame.

“In a society where aggression is encouraged.” Move away from the pointless ‘adult’ yammering for some relationship building play.

Almost every comic strip I’ve read today are doing the “Peanuts” tribute. Well done!

oh very nicely done

Many other strips are doing Charles Schulz & Peanuts tributes today….

I read almost 100 comics daily and still treasure Peanuts and especially Franklin. But Jumpstart is one of my two current favorites (with The Born Loser). With the wealth of characters, wonderful diversity, and ability to bring out humor in every situation you have created the next gen Peanuts Robb. I believe you to be in the pantheon occupied by Mr. Schulz.

Happy Birthday Sparky. You brought much happiness to our lives.

This was a superb, funny and heartfelt tribute to Schulz, completely in keeping with the abundant spirit of JumpStart.. Also, it’s always great to see Franklin!

Happy 100th in Heaven Sparky! Thanks for inspiring generations of cartoonists :)

I’ll be up in Santa Rosa next week for work. I’ll have to stop into the museum and say hello to the whole gang!

I’m speckles. This is so good.

Joe: “What about ‘Jump Start’ by Robb Armstrong?”

I see what you did there!

:golf clap:

“Franklin”! Yes!!!!!!!!❤️

Cleverly done, Robb ♥♥

Somehow, I feel like this is the best of the tributes I’ve seen! Just blending Franklin in so smoothly like that, I guess.

Lovely tribute to Mr. Schulz. [tipping my hat]

Franklin turned up in CURTIS today!!
