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.
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.

I Smell Sheep and Greg Hall (The Funky Werepig) have been longtime besties. So when Greg asked me (Sharon) to do some voice acting on his podcast series, I said no way! But then he said he would buy me a mocha latte, and I flew up to PA to play Sister Agnes—the MoFo Superior in Dracula's Winkee!
Here is the story behind the story and check out the first three episodes already out.

The True History of Dracula's Winkee
written by Greg Hall
New episode every Sunday.
Dracula's Winkee Ep 1- The Undead Have No Retirement Plan
Dracula's Winkee Ep 2- All Paranormal & No Romance Makes Drac a Dull Boy
Dracula's Winkee Ep 3- Tonight's Menu- Green Tea, Sticky Buns, & Death!
Long ago, in the 2000’s, I was a guest on a ‘paranormal romance’ radio show. The host and I debated the cravings of vampire erotica vs. vampires crave us as food. She said, “You aren’t a woman. You wouldn’t understand every woman fantasizes about having sex with a vampire!”
Instead of arguing Edward was closer to a Disney unicorn than to the horrifying monsters of legend, I simply replied, “Well, you aren’t a man. And it’s a fact men need blood flow to make their peepis happy. Blood flow is something vampires don’t have. They’re dead. Their hearts don’t beat. Add in that they’re room temperature, and your fantasy is to have sex with a cold, flaccid winkee.”
That one phrase caught on. Listeners repeated it. It was said on other shows. Told to me by fans. Didn’t realize it in the moment, but it was damn funny. And thus Dracula’s Winkee was born.
Many people remember the original run of Dracula’s Winkee as a serial on the popular horror website Choate Road. Others read Dracula’s Winkee in magazines, Funbooks, and Michael West’s brilliant anthology Vampires Don’t Sparkle. It became my most demanded live reading at conventions, spun into comedy skits, and actually made it as a series all the way to the top dogs at Adult Swim before falling short. The journey of Dracula’s Winkee has been a glorious one.
And it is all a lie. Because the truth couldn’t be told. Until now.
Dracula's Winkee
written by Greg Hall
In the summer of 2023, two brothers—Samuel and Ignatius Derriere-- were vacationing in Transylvania. One day, they spied an armadillo, a creature not indigenous to Europe. I know. How many balls they be trippin’?
They followed the animal as it scurried into a hidden cave. And there in clay jars, the brothers found some of the oldest recordings ever known. On the wax cylinders and 8-tracks, the voices spoke of lost love, ruthless enemies, and a Prince of Darkness who once made the world tremble.
The brothers soon realized they had discovered the audio diary of Dracula!
In what is believed to be the only recordings of Dracula’s actual voice, experts have pieced together a story centuries old.
A story that seems to continue today…
Raves for the book:
"I thought I’d seen everything in the galaxy of reality TV, until Randee's book!" – Andy Cohen, Host / Executive Producer, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and New York Times bestselling author
"Randee Dawn has single-handedly created a glittering new genre: the Backstage Comedy Fantasy Romance — and I want more!" – Ellen Kushner, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Thomas the Rhymer and Swordspoint
"Randee Dawn's Tune in Tomorrow is a wild ride through the world of reality TV, Faerie style. It’s a satire and a romance (of a sort) and a fairytale and a mystery, full of characters I loved (and loved to hate) and situations that had me biting my nails. It’s also hilariously funny." – World Fantasy Award nominee Delia Sherman, author of The Porcelain Dove and The Evil Wizard Smallbone
"Tune in Tomorrow is a joyride. It takes you on a journey into the make believe world of a soap opera. It dives in and out of what could possibly be fantasy or in fact is reality. As with the sands of time, as you Search for Tomorrow, or you are feeling Young and Restless, get lost in the adventures of Starr and be taken over by all that is Tune in Tomorrow." – Emmy-nominated actor Gregory Zarian
"Dawn's Tune in Tomorrow is a ton of fun with a lot of heart, charming characters, and devilish foes. And it's funny as hell." – Zin E. Rocklyn, author of Flowers for the Sea
"Few authors can open the door to another world as easily as you might turn on the TV, but Randee Dawn has the key and the remote control firmly in her hand. Flip through the fae and the grindylows, let her be your TV guide and psychopomp. You will find yourself howling at the gate for a rerun." – Meg Elison, author of Number One Fan
"This book is a BOUNCY CASTLE! This book is like a candy store and a screwball comedy had a fling in fairyland and the result was a mythic soap opera! There was no predicting it, there was only riding this dragon all the way to its rollicking rollercoaster conclusion. How dear and joyous it is, how satisfying, and how worthy of praise!" – World Fantasy Award-winning author of Saint Death's Daughter C.S.E. Cooney
"Dawn balances over-the-top drama and comedy with genuine intrigue to create a fun story with plenty of heart. Fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett will want to snatch this up." – Publishers Weekly
"Tune in Tomorrow is a hilariously well-constructed story with surprising complexity, and one that uses its reality TV premise not as a destination, but as a jumping off point to create something uniquely interesting that stays entertaining the entire way through." – Lightspeed Magazine
"Dawn’s witty take on society’s fascination with peering at life through a camera lens spotlights the sometimes-blurred intersection between fantasy and reality, all captured on video. Her playful narrative propels readers into the realm of alternate possibilities while questioning what is real and what is make-believe, and if we can even tell the difference." – BookTrib
Excerpt
They
twisted and turned so much Starr lost track of where she was, and
Jason's strange mixture of delight and nervousness was starting to make
her feel anxious. At last, she came to a hard halt in the middle of a
hallway.
Jason tilted his head.
"Look, I get it. You're like a big VFX warehouse or something. I'm guessing Tune in Tomorrow is some kind of space opera on the web. But your showing me every nook and cranny and door hinge doesn't give me a clue about what's going on. What is this place?"
Jason took a dramatic pause and his green eyes lit up, "Tune in Tomorrow is many things to so many mythics. We are the longest-running, most-viewed reality TV show ever made in any dimension. We are made by mythics, for mythics—but starring humans."
"Reality?" Starr twitched. "With dragon puppets and robots?"
Jason
started to speak, took a breath and paced up and down. Raised a finger,
lowered it, then stopped in front of her. Cleared his throat. "It's
been some time since I had to explain this to a human. Bear with me." He
pushed open another door and gestured inside.
Starr planted her feet in the doorway. "Jason, this is a toilet."
"Yes, well, needs must. I don't have any other handy water."
He was speaking in riddles—and disappearing into a bathroom with a near-stranger was awkward at best, creepy at worst. Still, she didn't sense Jason was up to no good. He practically vibrated with excitement, or nerves, or both. Swallowing, Starr took the risk and stepped inside. The bathroom door swung closed behind them.
Jason
turned on all four sinks in the room. Water cascaded from three;
butterflies burst from the fourth. Starr gaped. Jason quickly shut that
one off with a sheepish grin and turned his back on the sink. The
butterflies disintegrated.
Starr blinked.
"You
see," he raised his sing-song voice over the noise of the remaining
water, "we adore human to'ings and fro'ings. We are the original fans of
stories-without-end. Some hundreds of years ago when the Seelie came up
with the idea of telling stories to mythics, they were known as Stories
Of All Purpose, or for short –"
"SOAP," Starr realized. The room was
starting to heat up and the mirrors fogged; Jason had apparently turned
on only the hot water. She wondered where he was going with all this;
the fantastical elements of his story were fanciful and charming, but
silly. Maybe he was just being very method about the show. "You're
making a soap opera?"

An alien crash lands on Earth and must pass himself off as small-town human doctor Harry Vanderspeigle. Arriving with a secret mission to kill all humans, Harry starts off living a simple life… but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world.
Not long ago I had an old injury come back and lay me out for a couple weeks. During that time I was flipping around my Peacock app and found a show based off a Dark Horse Comic series.
I sure love Dark Horse so that got me interested right away. Turns out the lead character is played by Alan Tudyk from Firefly and now I'm REALLY interested.
When an alien crash lands into this small town and tried to "blend in", it sure does lead to some very funny comedic moments. Lots of them actually. The addition of some major hitting actors like Linda Hamilton and Terry O'Quinn only bring this one up to yet another level of entertainment.
