WELCOME
Let's get one thing clear: I love the Peanuts. This page is a tribute.
I have been a huge fan of this strip since I learned to read. Many a rainy childhood day was spent indoors soaking up my secondhand and hand-me-down Fawcett-Crest Peanuts paperbacks, which I still have (and continue to accumulate) and I still reread on occasion. There will always be a special place in my heart for Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole gang. They remind me of the innocence and wonder of childhood.
However, I've grown up now. My sense of humor has... mutated... a bit. Don't get me wrong--I still appreciate the strips as written, but sometimes I step back and look at the panels and think, "That would be even funnier if..." Maybe you'll agree; maybe not. Some might say I've defaced, disrespected and dishonored a beloved American pop icon. Some might appreciate the stark contrast of what once was versus what it's become. I take the innocence of a 1950s-1990s newspaper comic strip about small children, and I age and twist what comes out in their word balloons so that they might be discussing sex, booze, tattoos, drugs, R-rated films, etc.
It's not for everyone. If the thought of Peppermint Patty discussing her STD diagnosis with her gay lover turns you off, then don't read further. Navigate away from this page. it will only piss you off. No, actually it might nauseate you as well. If, on the other hand, you think that might be funny, then look no further!
After defacing over a dozen of the original Charles Schulz strips and posting them on my Facebook page and my primary blog, I realized that with 50 years of material to draw upon, there could possibly be no end in sight for this hobby of mine. That's when I decided to birth this page. I'll start off by going through my "back catalog" of strips from my Facebook posts, hopefully on a daily basis. I'll skip the extended Sunday strips, though. Even divine beings need a day off--or so they say. Then in a few weeks I'll move on to new, previously unreleased (at least in this condition) stuff.
I guess I'll keep going with this little venture unless someone representing the Peanuts asks me to stop. I see it as Fair Use, but I wouldn't want to piss off Charlie Brown. He's my buddy. If he didn't get the joke and asked me to stop, I would do so solely out of respect for him & the gang.
So until such a time comes, I hope you enjoy what I've created. Have fun.
