Nike's Smile

[chocochuy]

Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen!

Today I am proud to give you the greatest crossover of all time as well as a touching story of perseverance, unity and victory. Not a Dream! Not a Hoax! Not an Imaginary Story! This issue Charlie Brown finally kicks the football...with Spiderman's help!!!

Victory shall be claimed and the Omniverse will never be the same, dear comrades.



It may sound hard to believe but this epic crossover was truly done by Schulz and the first John Romita. Somewhere, deep within myself, my inner child is shedding some Manly Tears of Joy. Finally all is right in the jungle.

Still want more of Schulz and Romita Sr., comrades? Well, here is an extra bonus : Snoopy the Ace Pilot vs. Spiderman.



Ahh, if only we had more funny crossovers at comics these days.

That is the very definition of epic. XD

I gotta say, I probably wished for the very same thing every day of my pre-adolescent youth. And I once played Charlie Brown in a school play, too, so this seems extra-awesome!

(...not sure about the whole dog-whirling, though.)

The first is awesome, the second, is Spider-man just randomly being a jerk, or is he a big supporter of the Germans in WW1?

Huzzah for Charlie Brown finally getting the football!

[From: xammax]

There is a God... he allowed Chuck to win.

Just a few years (three?) before Schulz's death, he decided that he was finally going to give Charlie Brown that big moment he was always denied.

And he got to finally hit that walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to win the game.

It was beautiful. I admit that manly tears flowed that day.

This sadly isn't even the most depressing thing he has on poor Charlie.

[From: chocochuy]

Good Grief!

[From: xammax]

The other is worse.

[From: chocochuy]

Even more depressing/badass like that Frank Miller parody called "Schulz City"?

I am not sure I want to start the day with depressing stuff but I thank you for thy services, Xammax.

Wow, just wow! This little comic is indeed more depressing than the first one but I loved the poetry that was the ending.

Charlie, this is where you're supposed to realize the futility of desire and find Enlightenment.

[From: eyz]

Ha! XD
EPIC!
This was, oh, so awesome!!!

[From: icon_uk]

That such a thing exists (well, the first one at any rate) can only be celebrated one way

[From: amaniwolf]

That...is perfect! Epic win!

[From: chocochuy]

Excellent Epic Win!

This surely has Chuck Norris' approval, hehehe.

[From: nezchan]

Except for the fact that Spider-Man just made him gay.

[From: pallas_athena]

Oh the love! I feel it.

(Do you remember the little song that used to go with the dancing Spidey gif? Ah, internet nostalgia...)

[From: chocochuy]

I am not much well versed with that amazing (or was it spectacular? I was sure it was sensational) meme but in my heart Spiderman is dancing to Taylor Dayne's Planet Love.

Subarashi!

[From: lbd_nytetrayn]

The first one is the greatest thing ever today.

[From: peur-evol.blogspot.com]

I hate to break it to you, but in no way is that really Charles Schulz's art. Not sure who it is, but it's not even a good 'ghost' work.
It would have been awesome if it really happened though.

[From: chocochuy]

I understand what you say. I took these strips out of the book called "The Romita Legacy" where John Sr. mentioned that those strips were an alliance with Charles Schulz, so I probably accidentally thought that Schulz had a hand on this epic crossover. There's still a chance that it was Romita duplicating Schulz' art or this Burkley guy.

[From: peur-evol.blogspot.com]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude, but it was just WAY TOO APPARENT that the pencil and ink works were not authentic. Schulz was/is a very favorite of mine. I have a peculiar knack for recognizing his art.

[From: peur-evol.blogspot.com]

well, that sucked.
at first my internet connection wouldn't let me post, then it double posted.
paying for the internet sucks. i'm going to hang out at STARBUCKS and get free internet from now on.

[From: chocochuy]

Do not worry, Peur-Evol, it tends to happen to most of us. I have fixed thy double post as of right now and believe me that it can get tricky sometimes to get free internet from Starbucks™.

By the way, I like thy avatar. Is it a Chinese Ouroboros?

[From: aeka]

Oh Spidey. You make everything awesome. Now I remember why I had a crush on him as a kid. ♥

[From: jetblack927]

To this day, I could have sworn, Charlie Brown kicked the ball one time when snoopy made him invisible doing a magic trick...

But apparently, I'm the only one who believes this happened.

[From: chocochuy]

Quoting Shiori Takatsuki from Utena the Revolutionary Girl :

"Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings"

To tell you the truth, I seem to remember a Charlie Brown episode where he finally gets to dance with the Red Haired Girl after failing to win a football game. Part of me believes that Charlie Brown also had a chance to have a rematch with Lucy to kick the football and emerged victorious.

[From: salinea]

And that advice worked out so well!

[From: heckfire]

That was the special "It's Magic, Charlie Brown" and he ALMOST did it but the spell wore off while he was running and Lucy still pulled the ball away at the last moment.

...yeah, first comment in months and it's A} useless TV trivia and B} correcting another commenter. I'm gonna go drink something.

[From: icon_uk]

NO TV trivia is useless! (Well, reality TV trivia probably is, but that's a sort of *0 equation)

[From: eyz]

This was AMAZING!
Good times :P

I saw a fanart recently which you'll understand, is perfectly fitting for the this subject:
(WARNING VIOLENCE! cartoon violence, sure, but some might find it offensive nonetheless)
