Knoxville couple celebrates 60th wedding anniversary in a comic strip



The Rex Morgan comic strip today doubles as a tribute to Ron and Shirley Bugos, who celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. Ron and Shirley are longtime Rex Morgan fans.

It was their son Glenn's idea, and he contacted Rex Morgan cartoonist Terry Beatty about it. 

From the Knoxville News:

Beatty went one step further. He decided to “invite” Ron and Shirley to the wedding reception of his characters Buck and Mindy.

“Knowing I had the Buck and Mindy Las Vegas wedding sequence coming up, I knew I’d be drawing some sort of crowd scene for their wedding reception and figured why not put these long-time fans into the strip?” he said. "I ran that notion past Glenn, who was thrilled by the idea and supplied a reference photo.
