Summary

“Happiness is a warm puppy.”
—Charles M. Schulz
 
Paws down, Snoopy is one of the most recognizable dogs in the world. In honor of the 65th anniversary of Peanuts comes this collection of full-color comic strips, gathered here for the first time, featuring the beloved beagle and his friends: Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, and the whole gang! Whether soaring the skies as a World War I Flying Ace, donning sunglasses as Joe Cool, hanging out with Woodstock, or playing shortstop (and catching baseballs in his mouth), Snoopy has always warmed our hearts and made us laugh. Let’s Dance, Snoopy is the perfect tribute to a dog who is always the life of the party.

Author Biography

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 26, 1922, Charles Schulz was drafted into the army in 1943 and soon embarked for Europe and the fight against Germany. He then went on to teach at Art Instruction, where he worked with Charlie Brown and Linus, who later lent their names to the comic strips. In 1950, after many mailbox rejections, Schulz boarded a train from St. Paul to New York with a handful of drawings. On October 2 of that year, Peanuts, named by United Features Syndicate, debuted in seven newspapers.
 
On February 12, 2000, Charles Schulz died in Santa Rosa, California. It was only hours before his last original strip was to appear in Sunday papers.
