Charles Schulz's 100th Birthday: A Cartoonist Tribute (November 2022)

In honor of what would have been Charles M. "Sparky" Schulz's 100th birthday on November 26, 2022, syndicated cartoonists across the country have paid tribute to the Peanuts creator in their own comic strips published on the date. Schulz is the only cartoonist ever to receive this honor - a fitting tribute for a man who devoted his entire life to cartooning.

pretty gutsy for a legacy newspaper comic to try to approximate mtg. did they embarrass themselves or did they do all right? let's see.

"silver sea god" is a convincing enough creature name. spiky hair is probably playing blue. (cf. ancient silver dragon)

"bringing my silver sea god into play" technically he is casting it. unless he is playing it some alternative way that cheats it in without paying its cost, which is very possible in a color combo like simic or izzet (e.g. sneak attack). I guess I'm committed to assuming that blue is at least one of the colors spiky hair is running. anyway the gil thorp team probably has a few reasonable outs on this one

orange jacket would probably not telegraph his board wipe out loud like that. the only situation where I can see someone just outright spoiling a play like that is if lunch is about to be over and clawing one's way back from a board wipe in what little time they have left to play would be unfeasible. however, "wipe the board" is definitely completely acceptable verbiage. this one's a wash.

it's tempting to knock some points off the gil thorp team by pointing out orange jacket is completely tapped and isn't wiping anyone with a completely tapped board, but he might have a sorcery like blasphemous act that he's going to play on his turn.

the mtg dorks are 100 percent correct in considering themselves cooler than the vape guy. besides, they play magic, they don't have enough money to buy vapes.
