Pig Pen and Snoopy Banner, circa 1970
Add to SetSummary
In 1960, Charles Schulz created a "Peanuts" comic strip in which Lucy hugs Snoopy, then states simply "Happiness is a warm puppy." This line quickly caught on with the public and was subsequently turned into a book, then a series of merchandising products, then other books and products with comforting and assuring affirmations--like the phrase on this banner.
