Flying Ace Snoopy Doll, 1966-1970
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 began walking on two legs, showing a rebellious streak, and daydreaming about being a World War I Flying Ace fighting the evil Red Baron. This 1966 "Peanuts Pocket Doll" is based on this, his favorite fantasy.

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.
