スヌーピーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (スヌーピーInstagram)「🐾 It's #SnoopyDay! Snoopy, the World-Famous Beagle, first appeared in Peanuts 73 years ago today, on October 4, 1950—just two days after the very first Peanuts comic strip. ⁠ ⁠⁠ Snoopy began life on the comic strip page as a cute, cuddly puppy, prancing through the neighborhood. It would be several more years of drawing a daily comic strip before Schulz began to loosen up the rigidity of Snoopy’s body, smoothing out the angles and adding a few curves to better suit his round-headed human counterparts.⁠ ⁠ Only when Snoopy revealed his vivid imagination did Peanuts take the comic world by storm. A book-loving writer, fine art collector, and root beer connoisseur, Snoopy is anything but ordinary. Whether battling the Red Baron as the WWI Flying Ace or playing it cool as Joe Cool, Snoopy's adventures are endless. Yet, his ultimate joy lies in a simple nap on his doghouse, followed by a delicious meal from the Round-Headed Kid.⁠ ⁠ "Snoopy represents the dream of a lot of people who would like to be a club champion or to be a world-famous flying ace. But there's another quality about Snoopy that I think makes the whole thing work. This is a quality of innocence combined with a little bit of egotism. You put those two qualities together, and I think you have trouble, especially with Snoopy." —Charles M. Schulz」10月4日 23時39分
