Blessing Snoopy Alarm Clock, 1970-1980
01
Artifact Overview
Snoopy was just an ordinary dog when the "Peanuts" comic strip started in 1950. But that didn't last for long. He soon became almost human, walking on two legs, showing a rebellious streak, and daydreaming about being anywhere but his doghouse. Increasingly, the public related so well to Snoopy's persona that he became a popular figure on Peanuts-related merchandising products.

The comic strip Peanuts, begun in 1950 by Charles Schultz, shared the adventures of meek and nervous Charlie Brown, his circle of friends, and his dog Snoopy for almost 50 years.
