Wonderful.

The Auspices, Signs and Portents

He Looks more like Schroder than Charlie Brown here.

For a minute I thought I was reading Peanuts and Lucy had changed her hair a little. And it was Schroeder instead of Charlie Brown.

Always fun to see tributes to “Peanuts” and other classic comic strips. Well done.

Rita in… um…. “real life”, as opposed to “Peanuts life” does embody Lucy…

You don’t have to put to fine a point on it to see that it’s a match.

Nobody calls Jay “Charlie” in this parody, only “Jay” …

So he only needs to look enough like Charlie Brown to get the idea across that Rita/Lucy is going to pull away the football…

which is quite obvious….

 

I think the characterizations are perfect, and whether a Jay infusion makes Charlie look a little like Schroeder, or any other Schulz character, is beside the point.

After all, Schulz’s style was deceptively simple. And characters in any comic strip tend to look a bit alike anyway, and more like each other than characters from a different artist, just from being drawn by the same hand….

so ALL the Peanuts kids will have a bit of similarity if you look hard enough.

Don’t bother… Just stop when you get where you’re going.

This is so beautifully done.

That’s going on your “Scorecard”
