Description
It's Big Brother, Charlie Brown!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Peanuts Copyright Charles Schulz.
1984 Copyright George Orwell.
I love both Peanuts and 1984 (actually, it's my favorite novel...yeah, yeah, I know!). And actually, I think that they both have very important things to say about society. Peanuts had more satire and social commentary then you might recall. And yet, this feels somewhat sacrilegious.
Some of you may recall the incident that inspired these strips: the Little Red-Haired Girl actually passed him in similar note in the TV special You're in Love, Charlie Brown!
This first in a series of five comic strips in the Peanuts/1984 crossover/mash-up. I would say more, but I'm very ill. The other four will come soon.
Other Book Comics: How Amon Stole Republic City The Catcher in the Rye A Separate Peace Robinson Crusoe MacBeth Charlotte's Web
Now on Required Reading, a literary parody webcomic.

It's funny because Peanuts was actually the first place I ever heard of the novel 1984.
New Year's Day 1984 was a Sunday, so the Sunday strip dealt with Snoopy looking a bit worse-for-wear as he returned from Woodstock's party. Charlie Brown said something along the lines of, "You don't look so good...is it because you drank too much root beer at the party? Ate too much pizza? Danced too long?" Snoopy replied, "That's not what's making me sick...it's thinking about all the George Orwell jokes we'll have to suffer through in 1984!"
Of course, at the age of eleven, I had no clue what they were talking about, so I asked my mother and she brought me up to speed on the basic gist of the novel.
(There was also a daily strip during the seventies where Charlie Brown told Linus, "When I'm twenty-one, I'll be able to be my own man and make my own decisions...I'll be an individual!" Linus answered, "This is 1971...what year will it be when you're twenty-one?" Charlie Brown thought about it, then sighed, "...1984!")
