Schulz, [[Dik Browne]], [[Chester Gould]], and [[Jeff MacNelly]]. [[Gary Larson]] is the only cartoonist to win a second Reuben since Watterson. 

In 2014, Watterson was awarded the Grand Prix at the [[Angoulême International Comics Festival]] for his body of work, becoming just the fourth non-European cartoonist to be so honored in the first 41 years of the event.
