Jay Kennedy Tribute Found In Zits

According to an Editor & Publisher report, a character named Steve that manages a movie theater in the Jerry Scott/Jim Borgman strip Zits is meant to physically resemble the late Jay Kennedy. The blond-haired, bespectacled Kennedy, the longtime Editor in Chief at King Features who launched Zits, died last Spring while on vacation. Apparently, word got back to E&P through another cartoonist who wondered about the character and asked artist Jim Borgman. This was the most recent strip I could find featuring the character.
