Even without Kristin Chenoweth, it looks like Oklahomans could put on a pretty good remake of “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Three Oklahomans are among the finalists in the Peanuts Photo Contest, which seeks look-alikes for the Peanuts comic strip characters in honor of the strip’s 60th anniversary.

“Peanuts” was created by Charles Schulz and is among the most successful comic strips of all time. The characters, including Charlie Brown and Snoopy, are known around the world.

At www.peanutsphotocontest.com, Oklahoman Haley Bussell, 8, of Broken Arrow is a finalist in the “Peppermint Patty” category.

“I just immediately thought of Haley, because she looks like Peppermint Patty!” said her mom, Kelley Bussell. “I just got a picture of her and sent it in!”

A finalist as Peppermint Patty’s pal, Marcie, is Moore resident Lindsay Riggs, 9.
