<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "the longest story ever told by a man."</h1>
There are no adults in the world of Peanuts, only children.
But we know that this comic is published in major newspapers and magazines, and its readers are adults, so in these children, we can find an acknowledgment of all the troubles of the world: popular culture, consumer culture, success studies, depression...
This work is 70 years old, and the animated film adapted from it is also very popular, and in the entire work "Peanuts Comics", ashes fans must know that there have been more than 90 characters in the original comic book, of which there are 11 core characters, namely Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schilder, Linus, Sally Brown, Mint Patti, Marcy, Ping Pong, Franklin, Snoopy and The Fool.
Charlie Brown is the protagonist of the comics, with a round face, almost no temper of the good old man, he never gives trouble to people, but often the most troublesome person. Each character in the comic has a different personality, these obvious differences also allow the work to show different aspects of personality, while in the comic their contradictions and conflicts can also reflect the author's inner growth, it is precisely because of the precision of the character portrayal, until now, many people will think of these characters from time to time, and even feel that they are their own people, or ourselves.
Most people know "Snoopy" but don't know the story behind it, not even a birthday, it first appeared in the Peanut Comics on October 4, 1950, when the puppy did not have a name, and it was not until november 10 of the same year that the comic was named "Snoopy". The comic first mentioned its birthday as August 28, 1951, the second time on August 10, 1968, and later officially acquiesced to August 10 as Snoopy's birthday.
Peanuts comics is a beagle born on the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm (initially it was not divided into breeds, it was set as a Migru Hound from December 5, 1960), with 7 siblings, it was first adopted by a little girl named Lila, and later Lila had to find someone else to adopt Snoopy because of the move, and eventually Snoopy was adopted by Charlie Brown.
Snoopy adopts a puppy as the protagonist, but it is indeed an image carefully created by cartoonist Schultz, so much so that people later simply renamed his Peanut Comics to Snoopy Comics. In his world, Snoopy often complains that "sometimes it's not easy to be a dog", and it can be seen that Snoopy has a human mind, and although his ideals are impossible to achieve, it does not prevent him from becoming the most famous puppy in the world.
On December 23, 2009, the Kennel Club of America named Snoopy the "Number One Dog" in popular culture.
How many people still don't feel that they are fans of "Peanut Comics", but like to read "Snoopy", in fact, this is a change of ideas, a person who simply likes Snoopy's image, will also want to understand the whole story, about Charlie Brown, the protagonist of the comic book who does not have a strong sense of existence, he is often snatched by Snoopy, in the eyes of outsiders is a "loser".
But the author Schultz did not agree with others' evaluation of Charlie Brown during his lifetime, because the loser never tries something new, and in the comics, Charlie never gives up his passion for life, but tries again and again what has failed. Although he has experienced too many disappointments, he still maintains his good qualities with others.
Mapped to the real world, Charlie's encounter looks lonely and sad, but it is a true portrayal of the lives of each of us ordinary people.
Washington Post cartoonist Mike Kafner commented: "Charlie Brown represents life, and Snoopy represents the public dream." Snoopy's fantasy is an extension of the fantasy world of owner Charlie Brown, and at different times, Snoopy fantasizes about becoming a series of "world-famous" people: hockey player, baseball manager, golf professional, astronaut, skier, tennis player, swimmer, emergency rescue team member, consulting columnist, surgeon, etc.
It seems that the lightness is not actually a pure pastime and a very relaxed work, and people who watch the whole set should have the same feeling - sadness... Some passages in the comics are always lamentable, but the author, Mr. Schultz, always describes these helplessness and helplessness with a relaxed stroke, and Schultz has spent half a century telling the story of the beagle.
After he left, Peanut Comics also stopped running forever.
However, this fantasist puppy will always live in the hearts of children and adults surrounded by the sadness of life.
I admire Schultz because the Peanuts Comics is indeed a great comic, and he himself knows this very well, he develops characters through his own consciousness at the beginning, and in the end he is not actually drawing comics, but drawing his own spirit. So at the end of the last issue, he wrote a follow-up statement that the comic would not continue, in fact, he wanted to say that his special relationship with this comic could not be deprived of it, and the end of Schultz's life also meant the end of this comic.
Knowing the story about peanut comics, knowing that Snoopy is not just Snoopy, you can also proudly ask a friend: "Do you know that it is called Snoopy, do you know that its owner is Charlie Brown?" Did you know that Charlie Brown also has a sister named Sally Brown? Did you know that the little yellow bird next to Snoopy is called Muddleton? I don't know if it's right or not, then don't hurry to see it! ”
There is no ups and downs of the plot, no clever and cute protagonists, no poor villains, no exquisite and beautiful painting style, only ordinary children's stories and happiness. ——Happiness is a warm puppy。 Peanut Village is a real little world.
There is the always unlucky old good man Charlie Brown, the gentle and kind philosopher Linus, the articulate but ruthless Lucy, and the eternal snowoopy who lives in dreams. Since 1950.10.4 and Forever.
