Hate to be a buzz kill but snoopy most likely would have gone to doggy heaven by the time Charlie Brown was "all grown up".

Correct. The narrative describing the picture states it is Snoopy IV.

I too have been haunted by the picture. The artist did the job that few can do, hit the emotional nerve.

Charlie Brown was an angry young man. The world he had grown up into was not what he had imagined it would be, not what he felt he had been promised it would be. Instead, it was a world where things did not always go his way, where life just kept pulling the football away at the final moment and he was tired of it. First, the little red-haired girl rejected him for another boy and then that sadistic Lucy van Pelt kept hurting him with the football trick. He had thought about shaking-off life's little setbacks and getting his act together and growing the hell up but no, he decided that becoming a moody but well-armed drifter, sulking about the world that he had been cheated out of would be the right path for him. "I'll show all of you!" he shouted as he walked out the door with Snoopy IV chasing after him. First stop was the van Pelt house where he found Lucy. He shot her seven times. Linus came running outside in tears but Charlie knew that Linus was a kind soul so he let Linus live. Then he quickly double-timed it over to the little red-haired girl's house but her mother said that she was not home. Charlie Brown shot the mother 11 times. He knew that the little red-haired girl's father was a hunter and a gunsmith in his spare time so he broke into their basement and found the gun cabinet and ammunition stash. He grabbed a rifle and several boxes of ammo and stuffed the ammo in his backpack. He also grabbed some ammo for the 9mm pistol he'd used on Lucy and the mother. He ran out of there as the sirens could be heard a few blocks away and made it to the highway where a sympathetic trucker picked him up. "Son, you look like you're in trouble." Charlie just shrugged and looked out the window. Several hours passed in silence before the trucker pulled into a rest area and said, "Okay son, this is where you go on your way." Charlie felt betrayed and shot the trucker 12 times. He then grabbed the cash in the trucker's wallet and walked away from the rest area feeling as if the world was slowly becoming more just, more aware of his presence.

Charlie Brown was last seen in the Utah wilderness, standing on a mesa looking out over what he felt was the vast apocalyptic wasteland that America had become. The America that had failed to see that all he wanted was the little red-haired girl by his side and to kick that damned football.

Charlie Brown had just graduated from NYU. With the weather in Virginia so beautiful in late June, and with several job offers in hand, he decided to take a three day backpacking trip with his faithful dog Snoopy IV, partly to find new fly fishing spots, but mostly to clear his mind and consider his future employment options. On the second day of their hike, Charlie, or "Chucky" as the Little Red Haired girl, now his fiancé, called him, stumbled across an old abandoned cabin. Inside Chucky found some very interesting old artifacts….A leather football, and old Mauser that the previous owner tried saving buy wrapping the broken stock in gauze from his first aid kit, and a couple boxes of antique ammo. He was going to just leave the items in the cabin, but as his best friend Lucy, a wonderful friend now that she came out as a lesbian and no longer has anger issues, was a collector of junk and owner of a antique store in town. Of course Chucky considered Lucy a hoarder, but nobody confronted her on this. On the third morning, after hauling Lucy's crap up the first of the three steep climbs on the hike, Chucky paused on the mesa. He thought to himself, do I really need to haul this broken old rifle and heavy ammo up these hills and back just to contribute to Lucy's hoarding issues. …But Snoopy does seem to enjoy playing with the football. I think I'll keep that.

It's the Apocalypse Charlie Brown! by SeanE on DeviantArt

Ever since Lucy had finally gone too far in her quest for power and launched the nuclear apocalypse, Charlie Brown had roamed the wastes watching his Peanuts gang being whittled down one by one until only he and his faithful beagle; Snoopy IV were left.... But he would never give up, never. Not until he found the little red haired girl.

She was out there... somewhere...

Oh he11 yeah... so my beloved Charlie Brown turns into a psychopath mass murderer?

I was going to say I have small collection of very old Charlie Brown books. From those it would seem Charlie would most likely end up an insurance salesman and not some drifter wandering an apocalyptic wasteland.

Is there an actual story that goes with this picture or are you all letting your imaginations go wild?

And for the record I'm more interested what Schroder ended up doing with Lucy.

I suppose Hobbs turned on Calvin and ate him in an uncontrollable attack of blood lust too.

Fred, a middle aged pedophile who lives in a van down by the waterfront, had grown up in his mothers basement playing with My Little Pony toys. Fred was now on his most recently adopted fetish, dressing like Charlie Brown. Fred had even enlisted the help of a stray dog that he called Snoopy IV.

With a Mauser, a football, and a backpack full of candy and children's clothing, Fred was once again on the hunt.

In a lighter vein, this is a great article on Charles Schulz and 'the little redhaired girl" that came out a few weeks ago. Worth the read........
