史奴比的大日子！Everyone’s favorite cartoon dog has a birthday today by Bryan Hagerla
Snoopy made his first appearance in the Peanuts comic strip on this day in 1950. At first, Snoopy looked and acted like a normal dog. Two years later, however, Snoopy's creator, Charles Schulz, gave him a unique personality. He gave Snoopy the ability to express his thoughts in speech bubbles. Soon after, the smart beagle became as famous as his master, Charlie Brown.
Snoopy displayed his personality by sleeping on top of his doghouse instead of inside of it. And while awake, he acted out imaginary roles on top of his doghouse. He took orders as a grocery clerk. He typed out stories as a famous novelist. And he battled the dreaded Red Baron as a fighter pilot.
The Peanuts comic strip officially ended in 2000 with the death of Charles Schulz. Since then, Snoopy hasn't appeared in any new comics, but people continue to enjoy the old ones. They are still published in newspapers and books and on greeting cards. Generations after his debut, children and adults worldwide still love Snoopy, the one-of-a-kind cartoon dog.
