50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

what if charles schulz created watchmen?

Posted on 1 April, 2008 By Wil

What if Charles Schulz Created Watchmen?

I saw this link on TotalFark this morning. It was created by Evan Shaner, whose mom says, "is a lovely, bright young man," who "should have been a pastor or a doctor."

On a whim I drew up a piece last week asking the question "What if Charles Schulz created the Watchmen?"
and holy crap I had no idea people were going to like it. I posted it
on Deviant Art and the darn thing spread like wildfire. So there you
go, I guess I should
draw more stuff based on jokes that might make Alan Moore angry. If you
Google my name you can find all the places this work has been brought
up, and most of them say something about Moore taking away the rights
from DC over this. Like he’s ever heard of me.

(But if you have Mr. Moore I love Tom Strong.  Please send more Tom Strong.)

If there is any justice in this damned world at all, it will storm the Internets like Mahir Rickrolling a LOLCat.

    All that is needed is a smiley face on the moon with the bloodstain.

    Rorschach Snoopy’s gaze peels me apart, layer by layer, until my deepest soul lies wet and exposed.

    That is freakin’ fantastic! I love the idea and love the idea. Woo-hoo (and can’t wait for the movie)!

    We saw this a couple of weeks or so ago. I wish I had access to my work email, and I’d post up what my hubby and a fellow geek friend emailed back and forth about the cast chosen for that pic. Hubby spent a while debating who would be better to use, based on relationships and personality of both Watchmen and Schulz’s characters.
    Yeah, I love my geek. He ROCKS!

    This requires more. Let’s see a whole series. Frida was born to play Silk Spectre I

    Reminds me of the anime Futurama that seemed to be a relatively large hit in its own right.

    It just shows a certain level of appreciation. No creator should fault an aspiring creator for something like this.
