In early Peanuts strips, Charlie Brown was not Snoopy's owner (as seen in the February 2, 1951, strip), and it was initially not clear who his actual owner was. I was already happy." In The Peanuts Movie, Snoopy remains loyal to Charlie Brown, supporting and caring for him throughout the movie.
When Charlie Brown has to stop dedicating himself to making Snoopy happy, Snoopy replies, "Don't worry about it. He also helps Charlie Brown recover his autographed baseball when a bully takes it and challenges Charlie Brown to fight him for it. He joins Charlie Brown in walking out of a game of Ha-Ha Herman when Peppermint Patty insults Charlie Brown, unaware that Charlie Brown is within earshot. Snoopy's doghouse defies physics and is shown to be bigger on the inside than the outside.ĭespite his history of conflicted loyalties, his constant disrespect for Charlie Brown, and his inability to remember his name (he refers to him as "that round-headed kid"), Snoopy has shown both love and loyalty to his owner. (His dialogue, however, is not "heard" by the other characters except Woodstock the bird and other non-human characters, however, he does remember Charlie Brown's name.) The only exceptions are in the animated adaptions of the musicals You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Snoopy!!! The Musical in which Snoopy's thoughts are verbalized by Robert Towers and Cameron Clarke, respectively. His vocal effects were usually provided by Bill Melendez, who first played the role during Snoopy's appearances on The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show. His moods are instead conveyed through moans, yelps, growls, sobs, laughter, and monosyllabic utterances such as "bleah" or "hey" as well as through pantomime. In the animated Peanuts films and television specials, Snoopy's thoughts are not verbalized. His very articulate thoughts are shown in thought balloons. Snoopy imagines himself to speak, but never actually does, other than nonverbal sounds and occasionally uttering "Woof". I don't envy dogs the lives they have to live." Otherwise, he leads kind of a dull, miserable life. Schulz said of Snoopy's character in a 1997 interview: "He has to retreat into his fanciful world in order to survive. His Sopwith Camel is consistently shot down by his imaginary rival enemy, the German flying ace the " Red Baron". Snoopy pretends to be something, usually "world famous", and fails. Snoopy piloting his World War I " Sopwith Camel" fighter bi-plane, disguised as a doghouseĪll of his fantasies have a similar formula. This, and other instances in which he indulges in large chocolate-based meals and snacks, shows resistance to theobromine unheard of in other dogs. In the 1990s comic strips, he is obsessed with cookies, particularly the chocolate-chip variety. But on the whole, he shows great love, care, and loyalty for his owner (even though he cannot even remember his name and always refers to him as "The Round-Headed Kid"). Snoopy can be selfish, gluttonous and lazy at times, and occasionally mocks his owner, Charlie Brown. He is perhaps best known in this last persona, wearing an aviator's helmet and goggles and a scarf while carrying a swagger stick (like a stereotypical British Army officer of World War I and II). Snoopy is a loyal, imaginative and good-natured beagle who is prone to imagining fantasy lives, including being an author, a college student known as "Joe Cool", an attorney and a British World War I flying ace.
