Mizzou mascot spotlight
The Mizzou Wire blog has a story and slideshow about the MU cartoon mascots from over the years. There are many different versions of the tiger shown, including one shown at right drawn by Peanuts creator Charles Schulz for the 1956 homecoming edition of the Maneater. Schulz hid “Walker” in the credits of the illustration as a reference to his friend and cartoonist Mort Walker who attended Mizzou. Walker gives a little information in the story about how they both started out in the comics pages.
