The Peanuts gang is gonna drop it like it’s hot. What happens if Charlie Brown goes to feed his beloved pet, Snoop Dogg? For shizzel! Let’s find out!

SNOOP COME HOME: A PARODY

Published: March 13th, 2020

Genre: fiction/satire/celebrity humor/parody

In “Snoop, Come Home: A Parody”, cartoonist Jeff Whitcher delivers a hilariously twisted tribute to childhood nostalgia, mixing Saturday morning innocence with Saturday night smoke. When the world’s chillest rapper lands in the suburbs of Schulz’s beloved gang, things get… hazy. From prescriptions signed by Dr. Dre to neighborhood girls interrogating gangsta rap lingo, no character escapes this riotous remix unscathed.

Illustrated in pitch-perfect Peanuts style, this grown-up picture book is a subversive celebration of hip hop, youth culture, and the strange, delightful ways we all mash up meaning. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of comic strips or a disciple of West Coast beats, this is your new favorite coffee table conversation starter.

Not for kids. Not for the faint of heart. But definitely for anyone who loves satire with a blunt edge.

A perfect gift for pop culture junkies, parody lovers, and anyone who’s ever wondered: “What would Snoop Dogg do in a Charlie Brown world?”

Review

To quote good ol’ Chuck, “Good grief!” This book is iconic! Jeff Whitcher strikes gold in this parody of the classic Peanuts titled “Snoopy Comes Home,”  with “Snoop, Come Home” that I didn’t know I needed. Not for your kids, as when Charlie Brown asks Snoop Dogg if he has a prescription for “that,” and Snoop hands him a card that says Dr. Dre, I rolled over laughing. Oh! And when Lucy gets hold of Snoop’s CD, she has a few choice words, and Linus…dear sweet Linus! (shakes head).

“Snoop, Come Home” is a must for any Peanuts collector or Snoop Dogg fan. By the way, does Snoop Dogg know about this book? I can imagine him laughing and passing the “puff puff”  to Jeff, saying Yeah, man, I dig it. Whitcher does Charles Schulz proud, capturing Schulz’s illustration style uncannily. This is a book I will treasure and turn to for a smile. COMEDY GOLD!

 Therefore, my rating is Five out of Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
