Snoopy

Snoopy is an anthropomorphic beagle in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. He also appears in all of the Peanuts films and television specials. Since his debut on October 4, 1950, Snoopy has become one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in the comic strip and is considered more famous than Charlie Brown in some countries. The original drawings of Snoopy were inspired by Spike, one of Schulz's childhood dogs.

    13660109059?profile=RESIZE_180x180 Snoopy, as the "World Famous Author," debuted 60 years ago today in this strip from July 12, 1965!⁠

    This was the first of over 300 strips featuring Snoopy at his typewriter. This alter-ego allowed Charles Schulz to poke fun at his own creative pursuits while bringing a new type of humor to his strip.⁠

    In this first storyline, the manuscript is instantly bought for $50. However, Schulz quickly realized that success isn't as funny, and he decided to keep the World Famous Author struggling. Instead of receiving checks, he receives a steady stream of rejection letters from here on out, but that never stops Snoopy from trying!⁠

    "I don't know how I had happened to have Snoopy be a writer. Some things are just lost to my recollection. But I do know, of course, that ‘It was a dark and stormy night’ is a very hackneyed phrase. And Snoopy thinks he's a great writer. Maybe it's better that he never finds out." —Charles M. Schulz⁠

All about Snoopy and Friends.

"Snoopy’s whole personality is a little bittersweet. But he’s a very strong character. He can win or lose, be a disaster, a hero, or anything, and yet it all works out. I like the fact that when he’s in real trouble, he can retreat into a fantasy."

— Charles M. Schulz
