Snoopy
Snoopy sleeps on top of his kennelI love Snoopy and was delighted to discover that I could feature him on my watch. He makes a lovely change from the butterflies, flowers and jellyfish I have had before – not all at the same time, obviously. - that would be silly!
Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Snoopy, or rather that should be the chronicler of Snoopy, was an American cartoonist. He is credited with being ‘one of the most influential cartoonists in history’. His comic strip, Peanuts, mainly featured the hapless, perpetually surprised but always optimistic Charlie Brown and his pet dog, Snoopy.
Snoopy aspires to be a writer
Snoopy was
inspired by one of Schulz’s childhood dogs, Spike. Snoopy is a dreamer, one of
his favourite fantasies being that of a flying ace of the First World War, a parody of a British officer, complete with flying helmet and swagger stick, without which no officer was complete .
His dreams of stardom and fame come to naught. He is loyal to Charlie Brown, though he can never remember his name.
