There's copying and copying. Warhol's art especially did not use the
soup can to 'enhance' his picture. He cited it. Just copying a comic
character with a different technique should not be the same, so I'd
agree with RaD Man on adding C.Schulz's name. 

Nevertheless my first concern is to keep the ascii artists known, and 
I'm happy to see someone else adding the credits
for the _real_ original artist, too :)

Oh yes, 'great' Walt was a pro in stripping credits. He deleted the name
Carl Barks in many (all?) movies as far as I know. So 'great' Walt
is selling the Ducks as his creation. Big business - *sigh* !
