Peanuts Theme Song

The American rock band Built To Spill has released a cover of the Snoopy theme song "Linus and Lucy" on the Monitor This compilation. Rockhopper10r 07:47, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This should be in the article on "Peanuts" or perhaps Lucy van Pelt or Linus van Pelt. Snoopy is not "Peanuts", he is not even the most important character—that would be Charlie Brown.

Good point. I've removed it. Probably should add it to the Peanuts page or something. -R. fiend 02:12, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! I realise now that I forgot to identify myself earlier! Rockhopper10r 07:47, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

World War 2?!

"His arch-enemy (other than the Red Baron) is the cat next door named 'World War II' (and cats in general)." Can anyone verify this for me? I'm familiar with most of the stuff in here, and the cat, but I never heard it called "World War II". Is this just me? Thanx 68.39.174.150 23:28, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There was a sequence circa 1977-78 where Peppermint Patty is angry with Snoopy for enrolling her in the "Ace Obedience School" (she thought it was a private school). She sees the cat next door and says to Charlie Brown "That looks like a dog in a cat suit". CB warns her that that is "World War II, the cat who lives next door...He's mean!" In her anger, PP insists that it is Snoopy and she attacks him (off panel, of course). AFAIK, this is the only time the cat is referred to by his name.

Rockhopper10r 04:29, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've posted this elsewhere, but this link shows the Cat Next Door's name.Rockhopper10r 17:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep Tech Control

The reference to “tech control” should not be removed. If anything, there should be a reference to Schulz’s gift of that particular picture. I can’t find a copy of the pic anywhere on the internet either, but know plenty of Air Force personnel who wore the shirt and should have got one myself when I went through Tech School at the (currently flooded & closed) 332 training Sq. at Keesler AFB. Specifically, the AF career fields got recoded @ 15 yrs ago, and the story goes that Schulz was involved somehow in the old 493x1 field, called “Telecommunication Systems Management …” the x and “…” stand for the appropriate career level ie, apprentice, etc. I entered in 93’ with a 493 reserved slot and got the new 3C2x1 code, now called “Telecommunications Systems Control…” or simply Systems Control. Since Schulz officially “gave” this picture to the AF, it is one of the officially sanctioned “uniform” pictures approved to go with unit emblems. Not on formal uniforms per se, but when BDU tops are removed for “work” approved color T-shirts might have the Squadron’s official emblem on the front, and members of Tech/Systems Control are allowed to have the Snoopy Water Walker on the back. I’ve looked all over the internet and would love a copy of it. If I ever get one I’ll clean this up and add the post to Snoopy’s wiki page Deusbeatus 16:48, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Water Walkers

Thanks for not removing that entry of Snoopy being the mascot for Tech controllers. I am a relatively new Tech Controller and I think that is a very interesting bit of history. I will try to find a picture of the insignia and post it here. 66.98.131.102 01:26, 23 November 2005 (UTC) Stefan

This should shed some light on everything and here is the web site that I retrieved the information and picture from. http://3c2.us/node/78

--Stefanmeyers 02:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

There is actually an unofficial website for USAF Tech Controllers at http://www.3c2.us and the topic of how snoopy became the mascot is explained in detail within their forums here [1] and here [2]. A link to the image above and the original tech control snoopy is here [3]

The image should have been uploaded as PNG file, to permit the background to be transparent, or at least should have been edited to change the background to white.

NASA "Silver Snoopy" award

Take a look at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/osf/sfa/snoopy.html if you are interested in the NASA Space Flight Awareness Silver Snoopy Award.

Snoopy's breed

Who else thinks Snoopy looks more like a Jack Russell terrier than a beagle? Has anyone else ever thought of this?

Determining Snoopy's breed by his appearance would be difficult. He does not look much like a beagle (I have a beagle. He's cute, but he doesn't look like Snoopy). Originally, Snoopy's breed was uncertain. At one point Charlie Brown even says he doesn't know Snoopy's breed (Lucy suggests "Miscellaneous"). Eventually, Snoopy began to be referred to as a beagle, which was consitent throughout the rest of the run of "Peanuts".Rockhopper10r 17:32, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I own two beagles and their behaviour and mannerisms are EXTREMELY similar to Snoopy's - so much so that I often say to people that the snoopy cartoons are more like documentaries about beagles, rather than cartoons. If you look at the early cartoons, the way Snoopy is drawn is much more like a beagle than the contemporary interpretation of the character. And definitely NOTHING like a Jack Russell!!! Cyberbeagle 17:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

He doesn't look the least bit like JR. He has round-ish ears and nose like a beagle, straight/curved round tail like a beagle, black area on his back like a beagle, proportions of a beagle with a cartoon head, and rear legs like a beagle. Even if he wasn't pure and it wasn't mentioned in the comics, it's still the most obvious resemblance. blades (talk) 18:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

If you google "snoopy beagle" and click images you will see a dozen strips in which Schultz references the fact at Snoopy is indeed a Beagle.

On Snoopy's history

Rockhopper10r is right, and there are several contradicting points in Snoopy's curriculum (quite naturally: it's difficult to keep consistent in details over the decades). For many early years of the strip, Snoopy even wasn't Charlie Brown's dog: he was fed, walked, washed and commanded by several characters, and it was unclear whether he actually belonged to any of them. He was not a stray dog, since from very early on, he was provided for a doghouse; rather he seemed to be a nice neighbourhood dog with which the children liked to play, and he with them. It has become a cliché that "in 1958, Snoopy rose to his hind legs". In fact, for about a decade after that, he walked alternately on four or two legs - on two mostly when he had something to do with his forelegs: hitting with a bat, carrying something or playing a trumpet. Not before the late 60s or early 70s did he begin to walk exclusively on his hindlegs. - Voice from Finland, 18 May 2006

The text says "Over the course of the strip's run, it was revealed that Snoopy had been born and raised at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm." I remember a strip where someone refers to his origin using the word "born" and Snoopy, via his usual thought balloon corrects him. "NOT BORN. 'WHELPED' IS THE CORRECT TERM!" or something close to that. Perhaps the text should be changed to reflect the subject's own preference? WHPratt (talk) 15:06, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

I managed to see the strip in question and have the exact wording, but not the date.

Lucy (scolds Snoopy): You're lazy, do you know that? ... You've been lazy since the day you were born!
Snoopy (thought balloon): Not "born" .... "whelped," and continues in the next panel "Some people never get anything right."
It's reprinted in Snoopy: Cowabunga! A Peanuts Collection (2013) by Charles M. Schulz, p 194. Unfortunately, the date on the strip says 8/19/02, no doubt a reprint date for a much earlier creation. WHPratt (talk) 23:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Snoopy's dislike of coconut and cookies

I don't know about Snoopy's dislike of coconut but I am 100% certain that chocolate-chip cookies are his favorite. Change?

In the early days (1950's) Snoopy would try to get Charlie Brown's candy. It got to the point that CB would buy Coconut so Snoopy would leave him alone. The problem with this was that Charlie Brown HATED cocont also. Herogamer (talk) 19:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Arguably the most recognizable comic character in the world

Shouldn't this be "one of the most recognizable"? Is he (worldwide!) more recognizable than Tintin, a Smurf, Popeye, ...? Fram 15:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Somebody fixed it. It now reads "among the most recognizable comic characters in the world" (Sorry, I just hate unfinished talk messages.) Josh 23:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

the Red Baron (who appeared vicariously through the bulletholes he left riddled in the doghouse).

Vicariously? I know what it means, but it seems strange in this sentence... confusion with victorious? Fram 15:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe "indirectly" would be a better word. The Red Baron (who "appeared" indirectly through the bulletholes he left riddled in the doghouse). I'm not even so sure "appeared" should be there. Maybe it should be, The Red Baron (whose presence was made known by the bulletholes he left riddled in the doghouse)? --Birdhombre 15:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Snoopy in popular culture

Like many "popular culture" sections of articles, this was quickly getting out of hand. Snoopy has been one of the most recognized and most licensed characters ever. If we're listing every single time he's appeared anywhere, this article will be nothing but a giant laundry list. I've taken all but (IMO) the most important entries. I think we should say something about the space capsule named after him; the fact that there's a Snoopy theme park somewhere in Hong Kong or once Garfield made a joke about him is really not that noteworthy. —Chowbok 17:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

What about Snoop Dogg? Seems like there should be some reference to that here. 11 Oct 2007

I see that someone tried to put in a popular culture section and someone else removed it. Folks, we've been there, done that, and the consensus is currently to leave it out. There were so many popular culture references in each of the Peanuts articles that they were spun off into a Peanuts in popular culture article, which was huge and kept growing and lacked references. Then it went to AFD (and I missed it!) and it was deleted. Chowbok is right: there are zillions of Peanuts homages, parodies and what-have-you, because it was a major part of the culture for half a century. Much as I love a good Peanuts bit in some tv show or comic strip, it is far too common to be notable, even if it happened to be in your favorite show. Sorry. --Karen | Talk | contribs 03:39, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Brown Snoopy?

I took this out (twice):

The original Snoopy books although printed in black and white fetaured colour front covers and show Snoopy as a brown beagle. After the comics went into colour, Snoopy was left Black and White - an oddity as these are not colours that Beagles come in.

I don't believe this is true. See the first three Peanuts books here. The first one's cover was black and white, the second one was color but did not feature Snoopy, and the third one was color and showed Snoopy as white. Please do not re-add this without supporting evidence. —Chowbok 00:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

See also this painting Schulz made in 1951. The strip was only a few months old, and Snoopy is white with a black spot.—Chowbok 00:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, Snoopy was based on Schulz's dog Spike, who was mostly white with a few black spots, so it would make sense if Snoopy were colored white right from the start. See this image. --Birdhombre 14:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

It is true that there are books that did depict Snoopy as being brown (and I didn't write that in the original article!) - here's the back pages of three Snoopy books published by Coronet, and they all show a brown Snoopy. Let's Face it Charlie Brown, Here Comes Snoopyand Good Grief Charlie Brown. And actually, while Beagles are commonly tricolour, black and white Beaglesare not unheard of. Cyberbeagle 18:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Reading the article on Beagles, I find that "Tricolour Beagles are almost always born black and white, with the brownish areas developing later. The brown may take between one and two years to fully develop." Also, in Argentina at least, it is common to give a stuffed Snoopy to your significant other because Snoopy is the only black and white beagle, and is considered very special. Oscabatt (talk) 02:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

But those images only show brown colour in the print, not a real reference in the content. You can see all the other colours also seem very awkward and I think they were picked almost at random for the printing technology of the time. Possibly just to have more colour on the page so you wouldn't "waste" colour printing on a picture of a black and white dog. Especially on the covers. At least my copies don't seem to have any specific information on cover art or inkers. blades (talk) 18:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

No, you're right that these books never say that this is what Charles Schultz intended, however the lines that were in contention said that there were books that depicted a brown-coloured Snoopy, which other members thought was incorrect. However my post and scans were to show that there were indeed books that depicted Snoopy as brown. Whether this was Schultz's editorial intention or not isn't the question - it's whether these books existed or not! Also, the other colours shown seem to be close enough to the characters' traditional colours that I personally would find it hard to suggest anything other than the books publishers deliberately chose brown, and not a random colour. Cyberbeagle (talk) 21:45, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed addition to Snoopy and aviation

I was about to add a blurb about the Silver Snoopy, the Space Flight Awareness award presented solely by (NASA) astronauts, when I saw the note to discuss any additions to that section here first. See above where someone left a URL about the Silver Snoopy. The award is generally regarded in the American spaceflight community as the highest honor available. Following is the text that I was about to add...

• The Silver Snoopy is the award presented by NASA astronauts to members of the space flight community for contributions to flight safety and mission success or outstanding performance. The sterling silver pin is a likeness of Snoopy in a stylized spacesuit.

-- Pawl 20:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I didn't leave the note, but I am guessing it's due to such things now located at Peanuts in popular culture.

Feel free to add the information. Any references would obviously be great too : )

I think that that whole section could use some cleanup and organisation. So any help would be appreciated : ) - jc37 20:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Someone did add the Silver Snoopy info, and I added a cite for it (and a refs section to display it). Might it be worth importing the image of it, as seen on this page?[4] Since it's on a gov web site, there should be no copyvio or fair use issue for it.Karen | Talk | contribs 21:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Snoopy was the name of the modified Lockheed Hercules used by the Met Office for its research flights. I propose this be added. The aeroplane can be seen here. Hammersfan 01/03/07, 11.55 GMT

"The Apollo 10 lunar module was nicknamed "Snoopy" and the command module "Charlie Brown". " I remember reading somewhere that Schulz was cautioned about letting NASA use those names. If the lunar mission resulted in a disaster, they told him, his coimic strip would probably be ruined by the grim association. Supposedly, he replied that the astronauts were risking far more, and went ahead with the plan. I'll try to locate a reference. WHPratt (talk) 18:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC) Here it is: Charlie Brown & Charlie Schulz, by Lee Mendelson in association with Charles M. Schulz. Signet Books, 1971. "We have mentioned that Charles Schulz is a gambler, a man who doesn't sit pat on success. The New York Times headlined: "Creator of Peanuts Tempts Fate on Apollo Mission. Certainly, if a tragedy had occurred, as well it might have, the symbols would forever remain in man's mind as symbols of disaster. But Sparky has always had faith in the Apollo program, from the very start, and he felt if those men could risk their lives, the least he could do would be to risk the populatity of the characters."

Second image

The second image (the strip introducing Snoopy), when placed on the left, obscures some text. When put on the left, it doesn't. I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.9 on Windows XP with a widescreen. Before we continue shuffling the image about, can some other people please try the current and previous versions on their machine(s) and comment on the results? Thanks! Fram 13:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The strip should be placed at the right, per style guidelines, I believe? However, if you're having technical issues, we should try to resolve those. What text is being obscured, and why is only this image doing so? - jc37 13:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The WP:MOS only indicates putting the first image to the right, and does indicatethat other images may be either left or right (and suggests alternating). You can of course discuss if the infobox is an image or not, making the Snoopy strip the first or second one. As for what text is obscured, it is the line starting "He would also pretend to be various other animals, including a snake,", where the rest of the line is hidden behind the image (the hidden text being ", rhinoceros, and vulture. But his eccentricities did not stop there. "). Bizarrely, in the second version, the obscured text only started after ", rhinoceros, and vult"... The reason is probably that the infobox spans different sections, which has caused me similar problems in the past on other articles. These were then solved by either putting the image lower, or placing it on the left. I welcome any other solution (except abandoning either XP or Firefox, which is not a user-friendly solution of course), the image doesn't have to be at the left side at all, but I think it is an acceptable compromise for the time being unless someone else has problems by the new position (if it now obscures text on InternetExplorer browsers, pleae do put it back to the right!).

I have now saved an alternative position of the images, all to the rigth, but a bit lower. This gives no problems on my side. It looks to me as if it is caused by an image on the right which position on-screen is already taken by the infobox, forcing it to be positioned above some other text somehow. The new position is on my browser below the ionfobox and thus gives no problems. Fram 14:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I shrunk the size of the infobox image, so maybe that will prevent the issue. - jc37 16:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Snoopy as a writer (the 'Character' Chapter)

In the end of the 'Character' Chapter, reference is made to Snoopy as a writer and it is also mentionned that many of the most memorable moments of the strip involve Snoopy and his typewriter. It came to my mind, that the last Peanuts strip published in newspapers worldwide just days after the death of Schulz was a single frame with Snoopy typing Schulz's farewell message to the readers of Peanuts, as Schulz had already decided to stop drawing the strip. I do not have this particular strip and I don't remember his message, but if someone found it, it would be a good addition to this part of the article.

The idea of Snoopy

I was reading an article about Ripley's believe it or not creator and it says that Snoopy is a depiction of Charles Schulz beagle dog he had as a child, is this true? if so maybe it should be added--McNoddy 08:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

TARDIS

I noticed that when the article refers to his doghouse "being bigger on the inside", it links to the article on the Tardis, from Doctor Who. This seems a little... off. I'm not sure WHAT the term is offhand (and can't really look, since I'm currently at work), but isn't there a better general term for this? I can't really look myself at the moment, but if I get the chance, I can look when I get home from work. Umbralcorax 20:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I always assumed the doghouse had a big basement or something. Applejuicefool (talk) 17:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

It certainly does. That's where the Van Gogh and the pool table are. There's a few references to people falling down the stairs and Charlie and Linus carrying his fikus plant out to get some sun, IIRC. Of course this doesn't contradict being bigger on the inside. blades (talk) 18:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Maybe to Americans this might be an odd term (though with it being referenced in NCIS, maybe not!) but on this side of the pond it's not unusual to describe something that appears bigger on the inside to be TARDIS-like. Maybe that's what the original poster was referring to? Certainly on Gallifrey Base there's a discussion about the Gallifreyan nature of Snoopy as he seems to have a TARDIS kennel!! LOL. Cyberbeagle (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Agree, snoopys dog house is a tardis — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.189.130.90 (talk) 19:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Properly speaking, though, the TARDIS is like Snoopy's doghouse, rather than vice versa. The relative dimensions (bigger on the inside) of Snoopy's doghouse were established as canon in a strip dated 31 January 1954, which is nearly 10 years prior to the premiere of Doctor Who. Even so, I like to think that Snoopy is a Time Lord... er, Time Dog. -- JeffBillman (talk) 12:01, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Snoopy's change of look

This article appears to be sorely missing the essential explanation/talk at to Snoopy's evolution and its radical look change from its 1950's original drawings which is what I came here to read about. Only found a one-liner about Snoopy going on 2 legs like a human and a longer snout. Rather scant explanation. The Beagle got a nose job and at the very minimum a jpeg is here needed to illustrate "the change". Why did Schulz revamp the Snoop? (along with all the characters, but this is a Snoopy page and it got the most impressive change; it's almost like it's not even drawn by the original cartoonist guy.

Snoopy vs. The Red Baron

When the article reaches the point where it discusses Snoopy's most famous alternate personalaity, the WWI Flying Ace, it has a sentence which states "The supposed rivalry even lead to the video game Snoopy vs. the Red Baron for the Super Nintendo." 'Snoopy vs. the Red Baron' for the Super Nintendo? I never heard of such a game for the SNES, and it's not listed on the Peanuts mediagraphy page's video game section either. I tried looking it up for the SNES on GamesFAQ but couldn't find it there. The only Snoopy vs. the Red Baron I can find is the 2006 game by Smart Bomb Interactive, which was only released for PS2, PSP, and PC. Though according to that [[5]] there were cancelled plans for an Xbox and GameCube versions. Which brings up another point, the SNES probably wasn't having many games made for it anymore in 2006, considering Nintendo had already gone to the Nintendo 64 and it's successor, the GameCube, by then. The mediagraphy page does list three games that pitted Snoopy against the Red Baron, the 2006 game, 1983's Snoopy and the Red Baron for the Atari 2600 (incorrectly listed as a 1984 release in the mediagraphy page as the [on the game], the GamesFAQ page on the game, and the article on the list of Atari 2600 games all list it as a 1983 release), and 2010's Snoopy Flying Ace for the Xbox 360. Unless someone can prove there was an SNES game by this title, this sentence should probably be either edited or omitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.77.179 (talk) 22:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Snoopy a "minor" character?

An editor has been inserting here (and over at Peanuts as well) the bizarre, unsourced, and false claim that Snoopy was a minor character until the 1970s. This is a character who appeared in almost half of the first month's strips, who appeared in almost half of the first month of the 1970s strips. In 1958, a full book was released just of Snoopy strips from 1955 and later, another such book was released in 1963. I cannot undo it myself due to a Snoopy-related conflict of interest; could someone else check that line, and if you agree that it is unsourced and false, delete it? (You may want to review the editor's other work as well.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Logo for the Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport

A suggestion to add to the "In aviation and space" section: the Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport in California, named after Schulz, has a logo featuring Snoopy in his World War I flying ace attire flying atop his doghouse (see File:Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport (logo).png). Zzyzx11 (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Edit war over Clash of Clans material

There's an ongoing edit war about inclusion of mention of Clash of Clans going on. May I suggest that the participants discuss inclusion here. If consensus can be reached, then it can be settled (and, if needed, page protection can be used.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:17, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

It's not exactly an edit war, it's removing vandalism. Snoopy never appears in Clash of Clans. A very persistent vandal, whose aim is to get the page protected for the thrill of it I guess, keeps IP hopping. Sro23 (talk) 19:29, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

It would make everyone's life easier, then, if you were to request page protection. It's pretty simple to do of you have Twinkle installed; it's RPP on the Twinkle menu. (I'm not doing so myself as I have a WP:COI on this page.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:13, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

How can you be so sure that Snoopy never appears in Clash of Clans, Sro23? Do you even play the game to begin with? Please stop acting like an admin when you are not even one. 2001:E68:6C0E:E400:9562:6907:5489:412D (talk) 23:30, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

If you have independent reliable sources discussing Snoopy which state he appears in "Clash of the Clans", present them here and we might have something to include. Otherwise, it is either trivial or not true and does not belong in this article. - SummerPhD^v2.0 14:57, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Alright, I will add the sources in a few days and I promise not to make the edit without the sources. 2001:E68:6C35:E100:EC2C:3387:AB59:8578 (talk) 09:10, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

SummerPhDv2.0 (and anybody else who is unfamiliar with this user), keep in mind that this user is a self-professed troll and harasser who should be ignored as such. For the sake of it, here is the relevant guideline concerning the removal of troll comments at talk pages. —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:19, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Stop being rude here, DangerousJXD! What do you even mean by 'self-professed troll'? 2001:E68:6C35:E100:EC2C:3387:AB59:8578 (talk) 09:10, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Dog Talk

There's a chapter of this article focused on the song "Dog Talk" by a band called K-9 Corps. As those red link should indicate, neither that song nor that band has an article here. A passing mention in an obscure song by an obscure band does not deserve an unsourced paragraph here. I will not delete it myself due to my Peanuts COI, but I ask that others look at that paragraph and evaluate its inclusion. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

@NatGertler: I agree with your assessment and have deleted the paragraph. Aoi (青い) (talk) 04:01, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
