    AgentB111: word? i never saw the red joint
    Regor36: yeah sometimes it was red
    KidB76: what about snoopy’s gangsta cousin or brother who lived in texas
    AgentB111: Ecko would leap on that for soem 05 inspiration
    Regor36: oh Joe something or other
    Regor36: Cactus Joe?
    AgentB111: word, cactus joe

    AgentB111: Snoopy had multiple personality disorder
    sounds and words: yeah… cactus joe did peyote
    Regor36: definitely
    KidB76: snoopy was a writer, that was the one thing I really dug
    Regor36: snoopy and woodstock held that whole show down
    sounds and words: hence snijubg weed
    sounds and words: I never really watched the show
    sounds and words: that was supposed to be “smoking weed”
    Regor36: the show captured the comic well
    KidB76: ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” thats Woodstock saying SNOOP AND I BE BLAZIN TREES CHUCK YOU FUCKN HERB
    Regor36: the weakness is the lack of likable characters
    AgentB111: exactly
    AgentB111: to many herbs
    Regor36: other than snoopy, woodstock, joe, and pigpen
    Regor36: there was nothing
    AgentB111: charlie was semi-likable
    Regor36: nah
    AgentB111: more memorable
    Regor36: yeah
    AgentB111: than likable
    KidB76: he was the underdog, the loser
    sounds and words: I didn’t like nasty ass pigpen
    sounds and words: or the house negro
    Regor36: ha pigpen was gutter
    AgentB111: but the chicks were all a bunch of cunts
    sounds and words: the lesbians were likeable
    Regor36: but franklin was weak
    Regor36: oh true
    AgentB111: franklin was white
    sounds and words: as a duo though
    Regor36: the two dykes were OK
    sounds and words: but I loved Marcy
    sounds and words: they had to make her quiet tho
    AgentB111: Schroder didnt deserve decades of praise fo that shit
    sounds and words: she couldn’t Ellen Degeneres that shit
    sounds and words: they weren’t ready for that yet
    Regor36: didn’t Marcy always call Patty “sir”?
    KidB76: yeah
    sounds and words: Schroder played that one fuckin song
    AgentB111: marcy was all kinds of gay
    sounds and words: he gets no love from me
    sounds and words: fuck… I can play ONE song
    AgentB111: haha
    KidB76: schroder was banging lucy
    AgentB111: def
    sounds and words: Marcy was one of those kids that KNEW
    sounds and words: she was on his DEYOCK
    sounds and words: he would sit at that fuckin toy piano
    sounds and words: and take his pick from the groupies
    KidB76: haha
    sounds and words: Snoopy would be burnin one
    sounds and words: and be like…
    sounds and words: “Charlie… THAT’s how you get the pussy.”
    IRafi22: charlie
    IRafi22: i could have been somebody
    sounds and words: but no one ever called him Charlie
    sounds and words: they always called him by both names
    sounds and words: that was weird
    KidB76: except the teachers would call him WAH WHA WAH WHA
    sounds and words: this is true
    IRafi22: charlie, they took my thumb
    AgentB111: is woodstock the most underdeveloped character in animated history?
    sounds and words: no
    sounds and words: he had a role
    AgentB111: barely
    sounds and words: he was snoopy’s bitch
    AgentB111: hhaha
    sounds and words: that was a big role
    IRafi22: i think it was a critique of the hippie counter-culture
    jmpiork: hahaha
    sounds and words: Snoopy was like… “hold my belt buckle… we gonna walk to the commissary”
    jmpiork: hahahaha
    KidB76: hahaa
    IRafi22: it’s the great acid flashback charlie brown
    IRafi22: woodstock had a big part in that one
    sounds and words: hahahaha
    KidB76: lol
    Regor36: Linus and his Great Pumpkin Christianity was annoying
    AgentB111: i never really cared for woodstock but still held slight respect
    sounds and words: I’m surprised Snoopy didn’t smoke Woodstock one day
    AgentB111: like cappadonna
    sounds and words: without Woodstock, Snoopy is just a weirdo.
    IRafi22: if woodstock is the cappadonna of the peanuts clan
    sounds and words: Woodstock was his captive audience.
    IRafi22: snoopy is ghostface
    KidB76: word
    AgentB111: def
    jmpiork: haha
    KidB76: and charlie brown is the rza
    AgentB111: no way
    sounds and words: Pretty Snoopy
    IRafi22: lucy
    AgentB111: he lacks major persona
    IRafi22: lucy would have to be rza
    sounds and words: no
    sounds and words: she’s Tekitha
    Regor36: not schroeder?
    AgentB111: snoopy is easily the rza
    IRafi22: lol
    IRafi22: shit there ain’t no room for tekitha
    sounds and words: I was gonna say Snoopy is Rza
    sounds and words: moreso than Ghost
    KidB76: pigpen=odb
    sounds and words: Pigpen is ODB for sure
    Regor36: “it’s Pea-nuts, muthafuckas….”
    sounds and words: excellent
    sounds and words: good call Kid
    AgentB111: snoopy gets mad respect despite playing the back most of the time
    IRafi22: but snoopy didn’t really care to be bothered by everybody else
    IRafi22: lucy takes charge
    IRafi22: she’s the rza
    sounds and words: then check this out…
    Regor36: lol, give credit to ODB
    sounds and words: y’all might not get this…
    Regor36: he called it himself
    sounds and words: but that makes Snoopy Masta Killa
    AgentB111: imagine hearing word of an upcoming u solo album
    IRafi22: charlie brown = ugod
    sounds and words: hahhaa
    AgentB111: the fist reaction you have is “what involvement does the rza have?”
    sounds and words: I would have to give you that
    sounds and words: I would say Cappadonna… but he’s not that flamboyant… and he can’t drive.
    AgentB111: snoopy was low key on all the goup projects
    Regor36: snoopy is definitely Ghost
    AgentB111: despite being one of the main draw factors
    sounds and words: no… Ghost is too high-strung
    AgentB111: id argue that pigpen was ghost
    sounds and words: maybe he’s GZA
    sounds and words: I was gonna say Pigpen was Ghost
    sounds and words: but Ghost makes it a point to always be clean
    AgentB111: hahahahaha
    AgentB111: true
    KidB76: its been established that odb=pigpen
    sounds and words: but personality-wise… he was the most ghost-like
    sounds and words: he’s definitely ODB
    sounds and words: RIP Pigpen
    AgentB111: so the rza is schroder?
    sounds and words: yes
    KidB76: ok
    sounds and words: he makes the music
    KidB76: the gza is lucy
    AgentB111: from a techinal aspect
    sounds and words: Lucy is Raekwon
    sounds and words: she thinks she’s a lot better than she is
    AgentB111: this is an excellent conversation btw
    sounds and words: for sure
    KidB76: I was definitely thinking that too
    AgentB111: but wait
    sounds and words: I’m gonna give Franklin U-God
    AgentB111: who are the adults??????????/
    sounds and words: because he does nothing
    sounds and words: the teacher is Steve Rifkin
    AgentB111: hahaha
    Regor36: lol
    KidB76: B you gotta make a photoshop with the wu tang heads on the peanuts or vice versa
    sounds and words: Charlie’s moms is Poppa Wu
    AgentB111: lets do it
    KidB76: !!!
    sounds and words: it’s gotta be wu head on peanuts bodies
    AgentB111: word
    sounds and words: Marcy is Masta Killa
    sounds and words: you know what… Schroeder might be Method Man
    sounds and words: because the hoes love him
    AgentB111: true
    sounds and words: he’s not prominent enough to be RZA
    sounds and words: he wasn’t a focal character
    Regor36: http://www.liebography.com/ snoopy.jpg
    KidB76: remember the snoopy sno cone machine
    sounds and words: wtf?
    sounds and words: no
    Regor36: i just posted a link to a pic of it
    sounds and words: yeah… I saw
    IRafi22: hey i just got back
    KidB76: that shit was superior to the tastybake oven
    Regor36: and how could you not remember that?
    sounds and words: fuck the easy bake oven
    sounds and words: and the ice cream maker
    IRafi22: someone said snoopy was too calm to be ghost?
    IRafi22: snoopy had visions that he was the red baron and shit
    Regor36: it took forever to cook crack with the tastybake oven
    IRafi22: he was getting mad frazzled
    KidB76: snoopy had crazy visions
    sounds and words: hahahahaha
    sounds and words: okay… Snoopy is Ghostface when blunted
    IRafi22: fighting the red baron i mean
    sounds and words: how about that?
    KidB76: snoopy is ghost by default
    sounds and words: Snoopy TOTALLY would have busted out into “Holla” in the middle of an episode
    sounds and words: “DON’T BELIEVE THE KID?! LISTEN TO ME!!!!!”
    IRafi22: lol
    sounds and words: “EVER SAY MY NAME AGAIIIN YOU PUSSY!!!”
    sounds and words: that would have been a classic episode
    sounds and words: there would have been changing backgrounds and everything
    sounds and words: I’m from the place where fish was made!
    AgentB111: hahahha
    AgentB111: point made
    sounds and words: ok… so definitely Ghostface
    sounds and words: I’m fully on board for that one
    IRafi22: yeah you really have convinced us that snoopy was supposed to be ghostface
    IRafi22: good work

  2. Hahahaha. Bringing it back. Great post Jay.

    A funny thing about the conversation is that it pre-dates the existence of the Oh Word site by like 6 months to year. Clearly an idea worth holding on to.

    And it also shows how a future SOHH blogger was actually instrumental to the creation of Wu-Peanuts! We’ll keep that on the lo-lo though….

  3. I could have sworn that during this conversation I insisted that Raekwon was Charlie Brown because he rocked the “same damn ‘Lo sweater” but maybe I’m taking credit away from someone else? Memory is odd, I don’t remember being the one who first dropped “It’s Pea-nuts Muthaphuckas!”


    R.H.S.    Aug 2, 02:34 PM   
  4. ^ You definitely came up with that but it may have been when we were already revisiting the idea of how to do the strip for Oh Word?

    Or maybe it just fell outside of this excerpt of the original conversation.

    And yeah memory is weird.. I could easily see it being either of those even though those two chats would have been many months apart.

    And by the way, welcome back!

  5. it’s crazy how long we sat on the idea without doing anything with it. i didn’t sketch out the initial characters for months after that conversation and even then it was months until the strips finally popped off. probably because it took me so fucking long to get raekwon’s likeness down. i’m glad people enjoy them. based on Wu history it will only be a matter of time before Masta Killa knocks me out for making them so to the Wu and Wu fans, it’s all love so don’t get it twisted.

  6. I’m mad they left as much coke as they did atop the dog house…gotta scrap for every bit lol. Entertaining Strip.

  7. Rafi – that excerpt was there (“Regor36: “it’s Pea-nuts, muthafuckas….””)
    He was saying he thought he didn’t say it, not did.

    And Roger, I remember that, so it had to be in a different convo because I wasn’t in this one.
