    Oh, Lennie. You’re one of those rare artists who engage not only with their characters, but with their readers as well. The loss of your humor and expressive emotions will certainly be felt here, but I do hope your talents will be shared with others. I appreciate the high honor you’ve given me, and will treasure your literary friendship. Thank you so much, and may your future be peaceful and fulfilling. I’ll miss you.

    This is actually the best thing that has happened to me for weeks. Admittedly, that’s a pretty low bar, but you absolutely rock, Mr. Peterson!

    I, too, am honored to be included! WOW! Not only is this cool, but it made my day at 6am when I read it! I’ll be smiling all day….except when I remember the REASON my name is there. >sigh<. We will all miss you so much, Lennie! Truly, this has become my favorite strip. <3

    I can think of no better place for my 15 moments of fame to happen! I am honored beyond words. Being a former trombone player. (More accurately an owner of one that never made it past third chair in a four trombone section). I have on my bucket list the desire to see you preform live some day. God speed, Lennie, see you in the funny papers.

    This is one of those times where it’s not about the destination, but about the journey.

    Thank you for letting us travel with you a short way along your journey.

    Sir, I am astounded! And really amazed! To be on the list at all is fantastic. To top it is actually frightening. I just hope I won’t somehow be targeted by all the others.

    Thanks, Mr. Peterson, Lennie, it’s been enjoyable interacting with you, and I apologize for getting on your case about using the word spelling “Stoopid” in my early days here on GoComics. Good Luck to you! ⭐️ ❤️ ✌️ ☝️

    Wow thanks Lennie. I’m so touched I can overlook my misspelled name (unless there is a Brent Ronthal). Seriously I will miss the Big Pic but will follow you on your website and FB. You are one seriously talented artist and musician. The world needs more Lennie Petersons. Both for your art and perspective!

    Thank you for this honor! You are on the top of my Cartoonist Appreciation Hall of Fame. Can’t even put into words how much I have enjoyed following your life. You are like a comfy pair of slippers, comfort food and a warm sunny day……so much appreciated and so missed when not there. You are obviously one of the most beloved cartoonists. I wish you nothing but the best in the future. Homeslice is not impressed. Take good care of that kitty.

    Maybe I’m on the wall in the fine print. Honorable mention:) Love ya, Lennie. Gonna miss you. And your cats. And the trombone references; I and both my sons played trombone in school, and I always sent them the trombone strips.

    We will miss you, your girlfriend, Homeslice, and especially Ginger. But there is one nice thing. All your past comic strips can be seen here. Now that thousands of other comic strips on Sherpa are gone, we can still read the ones you made over 20 years ago. Thank you for making sure that they were added here.

    Oh My! Oh My! I am surprised and delighted. Kind of humbled. And very pleased that I meant enough to you to be mentioned. It was a warm fuzzy feeling to see my screen name in the list.

    We will miss you here, even if you do a rerun deal.

    I went back to the beginning, and 8-24-1999 is as far back as it goes. I thought it started before that. Anyway, I’ll be reading from then on, after April 5. BTW, the first 2 strips, 8-24 and 8-25 are hilarious. Can’t wait to see if “biker chick” becomes a regular. Lol.

    I’m loving how much everybody on that list is loving this. I see a capital A at the top of the rightmost column and am claiming it—after all, it’s the big picture.

    I am stunned. And honored. Thank you for including me. One of the things that has made your strip fun are some of the people who post here regularly. So happy to be included among them in your tribute.
