Learn More About The Snoopy Drawing

The beloved comic and cartoon character Snoopy first appeared in Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts newspaper comic in 1950.

He is the pet beagle of Charlie Brown, and his other friends include a small yellow bird named Woodstock, as well as Franklin, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, and Sally. He loves a circus dog named Fifi.

Snoopy is no ordinary dog. He writes novels that are never published, and imagines himself in a number of personalities, including college student Joe Cool and the World War I Flying Ace who frequently battles the Red Barron. In his dreams, his doghouse becomes an airplane known as the Sopwith Camel.

Snoopy has been seen in nearly 3,000 different newspapers in 75 countries. Snoopy's dialogue has been translated into 21 languages.

Although new Peanuts comics have not been produced since 2000, reprints of past adventures continue to be published in nearly every U.S. newspaper. Numerous animated movies featuring this candid canine have been produced, the most recent being The Peanuts Movie (2015).

In 2002, TV Guide named Snoopy and Charlie Brown together as 8th in their "50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time."
