===Among cartoonists===
Many cartoonists who came after Schulz have cited his work as an influence, including [[Lynn Johnston]], [[Patrick McDonnell]], and [[Cathy Guisewite]],{{sfn|Walker|2002|p=75}} the latter of whom stated, "A comic strip like [[Cathy|mine]] would never have existed if Charles Schulz hadn't paved the way".{{sfn|Walker|2002|p=106}}

The December 1997 issue of ''The Comics Journal'' featured an extensive collection of testimonials to ''Peanuts.'' Over 40 cartoonists, from mainstream newspaper cartoonists to underground, independent comic artists, shared reflections on the power and influence of Schulz's art. [[Gilbert Hernandez]] wrote, "''Peanuts'' was and still is for me a revelation. It's mostly from ''Peanuts'' where I was inspired to create the village of Palomar in ''Love and Rockets''. Schulz's characters, the humor, the insight ... gush, gush, gush, bow, bow, bow, grovel, grovel, grovel ..." [[Tom Batiuk]] wrote: "The influence of Charles Schulz on the craft of cartooning is so pervasive it is almost taken for granted." Batiuk also described the depth of emotion in ''Peanuts'': "Just beneath the cheerful surface were vulnerabilities and anxieties that we all experienced, but were reluctant to acknowledge. By sharing those feelings with us, Schulz showed us a vital aspect of our common humanity, which is, it seems to me, the ultimate goal of great art."<ref>"'Dear Sparky ...

Cartoon tributes have appeared in other comic strips since Schulz's death in 2000 and are now displayed at the [[Charles Schulz Museum]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Hilton |first=Spud |title=Peanuts fan blankets Sparky's Santa Rosa |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2002/09/29/TR159136.DTL |access-date=October 12, 2007 |work=San Francisco Chronicle | date=September 29, 2002}}</ref> On May 27, 2000, many cartoonists collaborated to include references to ''Peanuts'' in their strips. Originally planned as a tribute to Schulz's retirement, after his death that February it became a tribute to his life and career. Similarly, on October 30, 2005, several comic strips again included references to ''Peanuts'' and specifically the ''It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'' television special. On November 26, 2022, several cartoonists included references to Peanuts and Charles Schulz in their strips to celebrate his 100th birthday.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://schulzmuseum.org/tribute/ |title=Cartoonist Tributes #Schulz100 |publisher=Charles M.
