What Would Snoop Dogg Do in Charlie Brown’s World?
You’ve probably never wondered what it would be like if Snoop Dogg replaced Snoopy in the Peanuts universe—but once you read Snoop, Come Home, it’ll be all you can think about.

What if Snoopy blazed up, dropped a mixtape, and flipped the Peanuts universe on its head?
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?”
Whitcher did it...he seamlessly replaced Snoopy with Snoop. Snoop interacts with all the classic Peanuts characters without them breaking character. It's silly and some (Gen Z and Millennials and Boomers) might think Why?
Snoop, Come Home is for my generation--the forgotten one--X. We understand because we are also a smash-up of childish nostalgia and irreverent humor.
This would be a fun gift for the Gen X'er in your life.
