From Lil Abner comic strip by Al Capp, in October 1968: three Sunday strips taking on Charles Schulz and Peanuts. In an early 1980 issue of the Comics Journal, there was "Al Capp: The Last Interview" by Rick Marschall - actually conducted in October 1977. Capp: "Peanuts is a great strip, but no one has ever said, publicly, that they don't like Peanuts." Later: "In America, you must like Peanuts, even if you really don't."
On Dan Brady's blog, you can read a Los Angeles Times article where they asked Charles Schulz his opinion about the parody. He didn't think it was very funny.
I think this parody's good in a Wally Wood kind of way! Although I really do love Peanuts more than ever.
