• Yes, Woodstock was named after the 1969 music festival.
• One strip featured a shout out to MAD magazine and Alfred E. Neuman.
  • In turn, MAD had done a bit about the Peanuts gang as teens and adults. Schulz wrote in and said "why don't I retire and let you guys take over?" It was signed with a sketch of Snoopy saying "What, me worry?"

• Quite a few to Billie Jean King. In one strip, Sally draws a picture of George Washington and Betsy Ross playing a mixed double against Harry S Truman and Billie Jean King for Independence Day. Her brother comments that Harry and Billie would have won in straight sets.
• One Sunday comic in the mid-90's shows Snoopy about to participate in a hockey game with Woodstock and several other birds, and was surprised to find out that before every game, they do the Macarena.
• Here's one from a 1980 strip involving comic books. The character isn't much of a surprise, receiving shout-outs all the time from one place or another...

Marcie: Did you ever read this one, sir? It's where Spiderperson is on this bridge, and...
