Who Was That Curly-Haired Girl?

In yesterday's "Classic Peanuts", Snoopy's dances for the first and second day of May were reflected upon by a little curly-haired girl who seemed to resemble the girl that always has the cat draped over her arm; the cat that Snoopy despises. I've forgotten her name and dang if I haven't had the time to do any research, or to see if it's even the same girl. These lesser-known "Peanuts" characters certainly do stir up a fuss.

A big ol' GOTCHA by "Mother Goose and Grimm" today, which at first, I thought was "Beetle Bailey." Then it dawned on me, the drawing was just a little different, the gag totally out-of-place for Mort Walker's strip, which actually hangs out just below MGAG. Mike Peters gets away with drawing other people's characters more than just about anyone else on the planet - how does he get away with it?
