About Peanuts

During its run, the Peanuts comic strip was read by 355 million people in 75 countries, translated into 21 languages, and published in 2,600 newspapers. Peanuts' considerable influence on society is undeniable. The story focuses on the daily lives of a group of neighborhood children. Throughout its run, adults are almost never seen in the strip. If they are, they are usually depicted as a pair of legs. The author, Charles Schulz, never explicitly addressed social or political issues, but he portrayed them subtly in his work. Themes of race, gender, religion, and existentialism appear throughout the story. These themes are represented in the characters' daily lives, making them very relatable and realistic. The comic strip has resonated with readers around the world. John Schulz died in 2000, marking the end of the Peanuts comic strip. However, Peanuts remains a true work of art in history.

About Belle

Belle is a dog character in the Peanuts comic strips and Snoopy's sister. She looks a lot like Snoopy but wears a pink collar and has long eyelashes. She first appeared in the comics in 1976 when Snoopy decided to visit her. Although her appearance in the comics was short-lived, her cute design quickly made her a target for merchandising. Many different Belle products were released, making her a fan favorite.

About Snoopy

Snoopy is undoubtedly the most beloved and iconic character in the Peanuts series. He is Charlie Brown's loyal and good-natured dog. Author Schulz said that Snoopy's character reflected what he wanted to be: "fearless, the life of the party, and kissing Lucy's temper away." Snoopy's charismatic and positive personality makes him easy to love. In the series, he is often seen playing various fantasy characters. His most well-known role is that of a world-class flying ace. In this costume, he wears goggles, a helmet, and a scarf.

Associated figures
