Snoopy may be one of a kind, but there are many different sides to his beloved personality. He sports hip black shades as Joe Cool, soars the skies as the Flying Ace to bring down the Red Baron, argues a brilliant court case as the fearless Legal Beagle, and types his “dark and stormy” masterpiece as a bone-afide literary icon. But through it all, Snoopy is always a trustworthy dog and man's very best friend.
Charles M. Schulz was born in 1922 in Minneapolis, the only child of a housewife and a barber. His interest in comics was encouraged by his father, who loved the funny pages. After army duty, Schulz lettered comic pages for Timeless Topix, and sold seventeen cartoons to The Saturday Evening Post from 1948 to 1950 and a feature, Li'l Folks, to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Peanuts debuted on October 2, 1950, and ran without interruption for the next fifty years. Schulz died on February 12, 2000, and his last strip ran the next day. Peanuts has appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries.
