I can't say he's an example to me because that regularity of quality is too far beyond what I'm capable of. At best I could maybe model Piers Anthony where I work constantly and some of it is crap and some not.
All that said, happy posthumous 100 to my first ever fandom.

I still can't understand how the 2015 film decided that Charlie Brown would strike up a relationship with the little red-haired girl. It gives the movie a happy ending.
But if Peanuts has one message, it's that Charlie Brown doesn't get happy endings. That ending to the film flew in the face of everything that ever happened in the comic strip.
My favorites: Bizarro and Rose is Rose.
I think Gil Thorpe was the one that I was most surprised that I liked it. Dick Tracy also gets bonus points for drawing Snoopy, Woodstock and Charlie Brown in its own style.
Thanks for pointing that out. Would edit if I could.
