When the Doghouse Becomes a Studio
Some books sneak up on you. Others announce their weirdness
from the cover. Snoop, Come Home does both—and then sets fire
to the fourth wall while dropping a beat.
In this unfiltered adult picture book, Jeff Whitcher takes
the innocent charm of Peanuts and gives it a 420-friendly
twist. Snoop Dogg, now starring as the iconic beagle, lounges on the red dog
house not with warplane goggles, but with a joint and a notebook full of
rhymes. As the classic cast of characters stumbles through modern slang,
medical marijuana cards, and rap philosophy, readers are treated to a
surprisingly layered satire. The illustrations replicate Schulz’s timeless
visuals so faithfully, it’s easy to forget you’re reading a parody—until you
catch the punchlines hiding in plain sight. This is satire with a wink, a nod,
and a little smoke curling out the corner of the panel.
The architect of this brilliantly bizarre remix is Jeff
Whitcher, a writer and illustrator with a gift for spinning strange ideas into
unforgettable stories. With more than 40 books under his belt, Jeff has
cultivated a voice that’s at once humorous, heartfelt, and frequently off the
rails. His dual life as a social worker and creative storyteller informs
everything he writes, infusing his work with unexpected compassion even when
the material veers into absurdity. When he’s not writing or parenting five kids,
Jeff digs deep into musical obscurities on his YouTube channel, Vinyl
Destination. For more of his offbeat brilliance, visit jeffwhitcherbooks.com and

Snoop Come Home: A parody by Jeff
Whitcher
Published: March 13, 2020
Genre: Humor
My Thoughts: The
Snoop Dogg that I know is not the man at the Olympics and doing commercials; he
is the marijuana smoking shizzle rapper that was part of Dr. Dre’s crew of
artists. This book is perfect for that
era of Snoop Dogg fans.
The first time I saw the cover I laughed and could not wait
to read through the book. I love that
the illustrations are familiar with a clean-cut Charlie Brown Crew and are now
full of smoke and bongs of Snoop Dogg.
Even my husband (who refuses to read a book) had to pick up this book
that had me laughing out loud to see what I was reading. He read and laughed out loud also.
This is not a children’s book, it is a book for adults with
adult humor in it. I enjoyed every page
and know that I will be pulling it off my shelf over and over when I need a
laugh, smile, or pick me up to my day.
Thank you Author Marketing Experts for a copy of the book in
