There was a very nasty parody of Peanuts in National Lampoon that could never be done today, called Popcorn, with black children as characters. Charlie Brown was parodied with a character called "Bad, bad Leroy Brown", a seemingly innocent kid who did some very nasty things. He had a pet rat instead of a pet Beagle, and Lucy was an overdeveloped black girl who Leroy Brown lusted after (and is heavily implied that he raped off-panel in one cartoon). It was extremely racist, portrayed black kids as universally shiftless and malicious, and I'm surprised it was allowed by National Lampoon, even in the 1960s. The cartoonist was, in my opinion, a racist asshole. And that's putting it mildly.

It was called 'Goobers featuring Bad,Bad Leroy Brown'.

There was also a Peanuts parody in Lil' Abner called 'Peewee' by Good Ol' Bedly Damp.

Plus, there was a Mad magazine parody in issue #393 called "The last Peanuts episodes you never saw!"
