You Can Be Anything! (Peanuts)

Whether a sports star, a leader, a hero, or just plain cool, Snoopy reminds the dreamer in all of us that we can be anything!

For the past 50 years, Snoopy has inspired the world with his more than 100 different personas. Man's best friend has led his flock into the hills as a Beagle Scout, fought behind enemy lines as a World War I Flying Ace, penned a best-selling novel as a Literary Ace, and landed on the moon as The World Famous Astronaut. Adapted from Mr. Schulz's original comic strips, the many adventurous faces of Snoopy serve as inspiration to all dreamers big and small.

Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts debuted in 1950 and went on to become the most widely read comic strip in the world, with an audience of 355 million people in 75 countries. It ran in 2,600 newspapers and was published in 21 languages. "Sparky"(as Mr. Schulz was affectionately nicknamed after a horse called "Spark Plug" in the Barney Google comic strip by Billy DeBeck), his beloved Peanuts characters, and their world have become a part of the American culture. He has been honored with numerous awards and was inducted into the Cartoonist Hall of Fame in 1986. Mr. Schulz passed away in Santa Rosa, CA. It was only hours before his last original strip was to appear in Sunday papers. He is survived by his wife, Jeannie, his five children, two stepchildren, and their families.
