Check out the old Peanuts characters in their teens through a manga-inspired revival. From an angst-filled Charlie Brown to a more secured Linus, gNAW, a Fur Affinity artist, has created a series of illustrations portraying the Peanuts gang all grown up.
Some of you may have already seen my take on the “Peanuts” gang by Charles M. Schulz. Some new ones are on the way. Until then, I hope you still like these old ones.
There have been differences of opinion on how Charlie would act now. I decided to go the way of the “angst-filled teenager.”
Linus is much more secure…but still clutches a little to the past. His blanket was sized down to a handkerchief.
I don’t think Lucy would change much. Still bold and assertive. Maybe less crabby. Keeping the boys at bay but still can’t get a second look from Schroeder.
Violet and Patty were around in the early going but disappeared from the strip sometime around the 70′s.
Peppermint Patty and Marcie still reign supreme today.
I figured Peppermint Patty would hold true to her tomboy nature. Sporty and cute. Marcie would be kinda subdued and conventional in her appearance. While Violet and Patty would be trend setters/followers.
Sally still carries the torch for Linus….and Linus is still trying to figure a way to put it out.
When Violet and Patty were around, Lucy seemed to spend a lot of time with them. Usually busting on Charlie Brown.
I’m thinking about having it so Violet and Patty DID move away from the neighborhood but came back. As commemoration to their absence from the strip. These three make a good counter to Schroeder, Franklin and PigPen.
Right now they are just enjoying bein’ at the mall.
It’s amazing how the characters are instantly recognizable despite the huge translation in art style. Schulz would be proud.

Shultz would be proud? More like appalled! i can’t believe you took these precious characters and deformed them into freaky anime people!!!!!! as charlie brown would say, “GOOD GRIEF!”
Who knew Linus would turn out to be such a hunk?
As an afficianado of both Peanuts and manga, I appreciate the conversion. It’s interesting to see what one interpreter believes the future holds for characters that are apparently quite dear to him.
As for Shultz reaction, Sparky himself was pretty encouraging with “experimentation” – just watch some of the cartoons! The suggestion that he would be “appalled” is unwarranted.
To nissa, Linus had the makings from the beginning – ever seen him a) use his blanket aggressively? b) play baseball? c) box? Linus is one of those guys who’s capable of doing anything he sets his mind on.
This is pretty cool, I must say. Thumbs way up. Haha to Charlie’s scowl
why didnt you do a schroeder one?
nice anatomy, i rarely like anime styled characters, you put a lot of thought and creavity on this
I am on old guy who is also an old-fashioned guy.
I like things as they are and HATE change!!
Despite this, I really love what you’ve done with the manganization of my childhood fav’s.
Schultz might not be proud, but I firmly believe he’d approve.
I love them. I’d love to see more of them.
salut a tous, j’aimerais partager avec vous ma musique. Pour les fans de culture japonaise et les hard gamers bonne écoute http://laboitenoire.wordpress.com/mes-sons/gribouillage-prologue-select-and-make-your-personal-album/
I think it’s really cool. I’m a big Anime fan who also enjoys “classic” comics (like Peanuts) …I am a little disappointed, though, that Charlie’s anime version is not only bald, but the design of the shirt is wrong and he’s all moody. I like the original design better in some ways even though the original Charlie is kinda “bald” looking as well. (something that I’ve never understood is why some of the male characters are so bald or “balding” looking when they’re supposed to be kids/teenagers.) Linus’s anime version has hair, so why doesn’t Charlie?
And the original design of the shirt is fine…and too much moodiness, I am not sure why, but it just doesn’t seem to me that it would really fit Charlie that well. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to seeing him smiling that I find it hard to believe that he’s all that moody…even with what Lucy puts him through.
I do not see it as “deforming” the characters at all, rather…just a different “take” on them.
I like both styles (well I like just about all art) and I think it’s sad that some people rarely like anime and anime style things or insist on being hateful about it and put down anime and anime fans all the time.

Hommage à la voix, au son et à toutes leurs variantes. Projet réalisé entre Juillet et Décembre 2008.
A tous ceux qui portent le Japon dans leur cœur. A ceux que les seiyus ont passionné et passionneront, à ceux qui jouent encore aux jeux Neo Geo et qui ne se sont jamais remis du dépôt de bilan de la firme SNK, à ceux qui au cours des années 90, ont préféré acheter des osts de jeux vidéos plutôt que la soupe populaire qui leur était imposée, à ceux qui seul ou à plusieurs ont sacrifié leurs nuits aux univers virtuels, à ceux qui ont copié les musiques de Bare Knuckles et de Final Fantasy 6 sur des K7 au son impure et grésillant, à ceux qui ont la nature et les éléments pour dieu, à ceux qui rêvent encore, à Yuko Nexus 6 et bien sûr à tous les autres…

jeepers!! i wonder what the peanuts character FRANKLIN would look like all grown up in manga-form?
“I am a little disappointed, though, that Charlie’s anime version is not only bald, but the design of the shirt is wrong and he’s all moody.

Maybe because Charlie was pointed out as bald IN the show.
I still remember Lucy and Violet’s little chant:
It was in swedish, but translated back to english….
“Our little poor Charles, lalala… There ain’t anyone who wants (him), lalala. Cause he is too dumb, bald and a klutz, but blush, that he can do, lalala.”
The swedish version calling Charlie brown Karl always confused me, btw.
Karl= Swedish version of Charles.
Kalle= Swedish version of the “Charlie” nickname, AND actual name. Even when kids actually are named Karl over here it’s extremely rare for them not to be called Kalle. Funny fact: Donald (Fontleroy) Duck is actually called Kalle Anka(Charlie Duck), but his name is Karl (Magnus) Anka (Charles Magnus Duck).
Peppermint Patty is Peppiga Pia over here. “Peppy Pia”, if translated.
Her “Sir” version by Maggan(nickname version of Margareta, the swedish name for Marcie), was “Magistern”, which basically means male teacher. ^^;;
Lucy was Gullan, a name derived from the word gullig, which means something to the likeness of cute and sweet. XDDD
Schroeder was Leonard.
Most other characters pretty much kept their name.
OMG!!! I love them! They are so cute! I would love to read this manga!!
You turned Patty into a mall-shopping non-lesbian hoe!
Nice i like, tho where’s Charlie’s love,the little red head girl?
this is awsome
