Hello!
I'm Snoopy (as if you didn't know). Today is the anniversary of my first appearance in the Peanuts comic strip (it was in 1950). [shown below] I'm sure you know me, Snoopy, the extroverted beagle, the canine Walter Mitty. If I say so myself , I am a virtuoso at every endeavor at least in my daydreams atop my doghouse. I regard my human, Charlie Brown, as that round-headed kid who brings me my supper dish. I am fearless though prudently cautious about the cat next door. I never speak that would be one human trait too many but I manage to convey everything necessary in facial expressions and thought balloons. Not to mention the literary works I produce on my 1950s~vintage typewriter. A one-dog show with superior intelligence and vivid imagination, I have created such multiple personalities as: Joe Cool, World War I Flying Ace, Literary Ace, Flashbeagle, Vulture, Foreign Legionnaire, etc. Of course, all that was in the future on my first day. Then I was still a puppy walking on all fours, proudly adorned with a flower, until it rained on my parade .... |
