661: The Croquet Game

Explanation
This strip takes the original Peanuts comic, which is originally just about the characters playing croquet and making jokes, and fills it with strange dialogue and visual edits. Most of it is simply nonsense with no meaning, but there are a few things worth pointing out:
 * Charlie Brown's line that "There's so much more to it. You have to think." comes from a SROMG comic called "The only winning move is not to play".
 * Schroder namedrops Good Kid, a Canadian band. The crown that he wears is the same one the band's mascot, Nomu Kid, wears on the cover of their Good Kid 2 EP.
 * Charlie Brown's line, "If I survive, I'll worship the moon, or something, anything" is from the Röyksopp song "This Must Be It".
 * "The dog is not perturbed" references 106: Spy Fox in: A Death In The Family.
 * The fourth panel is a homage to Lagtrain, a Vocaloid song that was popularized in 2020. At various points in the video, the song's protagonist is seen moving backwards while afterimages of them form behind to the beat of the song, much as Charlie Brown is doing here. The color palette also matches that of the original video.
 * The Wingdings text that Patty says to Charlie Brown translates to "TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT!"
 * Lucy's censored threat to Charlie Brown is taken from the movie Jennifer's Body. In the original line, the censored words are "nutsack" and "balls".
 * Lucy, Shermy, and Violet's coloring at the end comes from an automatic coloring algorithm.

Oh, if only this was on VH1. Then we'd have pop-up trivia facts explaining it.
