    Does anyone collect parodies of Peanuts? I'd like to see what
    you have.

    There was one by R. Sikoryak of Charlie Brown in Kafka's
    Metamorphosis which appeared in a "Raw" comic compilation.

    I recall 'When Comic Strips turn rotten' in Mad Magazine. I don't
    recall which issue this was. Charlie Brown kicks Lucy instead of
    the football.


    There was another in "Mad" on the "What if this nudity trend
    continues?"

    Ces at "Medium Large" had a corker combining two tropes several years >> ago:

    There was an Arlo and Janis arc (October 1997) in which Jimmy Johnson depicted Arlo visiting a piano showroom; the salesman was clearly a grown-up Schroeder.


    I remember also a (brief) parody by Al Capp in '68 (I think). Brief because he
    abandoned it after a few strips when Schulz said he didn't like it.

    Topps has done Wacky Packages takes on Peanuts characters:
    * Lucy's Psychastric Monthly magazine - Wacky Packages 50th. Anniversary series 2017
    * Scoopy's Sno-Crush Machine (spoof of Hasbro Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine) - Wacky Packages Old School 6 series 2017
    * Plastered Peanuts (spoof of Planters Peanuts with Peanuts characters) - Wacky Packages Go To The Movies series 2018


    There was a very nasty parody of Peanuts in National Lampoon that could never be done today, called Popcorn, with black children as characters. Charlie Brown was parodied with a character called "Bad, bad Leroy Brown", a seemingly innocent kid who did
    some very nasty things. He had a pet rat instead of a pet Beagle, and Lucy was an overdeveloped black girl who Leroy Brown lusted after (and is heavily implied that he raped off-panel in one cartoon). It was extremely racist, portrayed black kids as
    universally shiftless and malicious, and I'm surprised it was allowed by National Lampoon, even in the 1960s. The cartoonist was, in my opinion, a racist asshole. And that's putting it mildly.

    It was called 'Goobers featuring Bad,Bad Leroy Brown'.

    There was also a Peanuts parody in Lil' Abner called 'Peewee' by Good Ol' Bedly Damp.
