A couple years ago our local paper started running a comic strip by a local artist about a guy and his wise cracking dog (that was NOTHING like Garfield in style or tone.) So one day there was a direct swipe of a Peanuts strip. I pulled out my old Peanuts paperback (sadly I knew exactly which book it was in) and there it was, almost word for word, line for line. There were childrens building blocks in the scene and he even put the same letters on the blocks!!!The next day he copied the gag on the next page of the same book!! He was plagarising IN ORDER!! The next day it was a complete rip off of a Garfield strip.I copied the strips and mailed them to the syndicate. About a week letter they wrote back saying they would look into it. About a week after that the strip dissapeared out of my paper. ...heh...heh...heh... I wish I still had them.

I am pretty sure I have read this one with the pants panel and I have not read any collections that would feature to '52 strip, and I have not read Blondie in many years so not the new one either.
