Snoopy has always been my favourite Peanuts character — doing his happy dance, or as the WWI Flying Ace on his Sopwith Camel biplane/doghouse. Snoopy began his fantasy career as a fighter pilot in 1965. I always thought his scarf was red (as it is usually shown), but this 2001 stamp has him bedecked in yellow.
And, as a bonus (while researching the colour of his scarf) it seems that during a story line from August 7-10, 1968, for the one and only time, it was revealed to be Snoopy's birthday!
August 10th
His first appearance was in October 1950, and he would have been about a year old then, so by now would be an astounding 70 — or 490 dog — years old this weekend.
for the letter Y - yellow
I also thought of Snoopy with a red scarf too. Love the stamp.
ReplyDeleteI've found a stamp from close to home - http://bit.ly/2Mdu6Rm
Now we know the Snoopy's birthday, and that he owns more than one scarf :D
ReplyDeleteI love this character, too.
