C’mon baby, write my Peanuts

As a collector, I’ve seen a lot of examples of people parodying Peanuts by replacing the dialogue with something a bit more x-rated. It has been done well at times, but that’s the exception. But there was at least one interesting example that I didn’t know about… interesting for the most part because of who the redialoguer was.

It’s not one that dazzles me with its brilliance, I admit, but still, it would be a thing to have! You can read more about it and zoom in on the image at the auction listing. (Hat tip to my old pal and collaborator, Rod!)
