Do we like Snoopy?

A character from Peanuts (1950–2000)

Our score: 8 out of 10. Mostly yes. He's loyal, funny and endlessly imaginative, and he's a bit lazy and greedy. We'd back him, but we'd keep an eye on our supper.

Snoopy is the pet beagle of Charlie Brown in Charles Schulz's long-running comic strip Peanuts. He first appeared on 4 October 1950, two days after the strip began, and started out as a fairly ordinary dog. He gradually grew into the strip's most dynamic character, and Britannica notes that he often stole the show from Charlie Brown himself.

Snoopy spends much of his time lying on his doghouse roof, daydreaming. In his fantasies he is a World War I Flying Ace, with goggles and a red scarf, fighting aerial battles against the Red Baron. He is also the cool college student Joe Cool, a novelist and an attorney. His best friend is the little yellow bird Woodstock, who often acts as his secretary or mechanic.

He isn't a saint. He can be selfish, gluttonous and lazy, and he sometimes mocks Charlie Brown. Even so, he shows love and loyalty to Charlie Brown and his friends. He has no real malice, and his imagination is a gift to everyone around him. That is why we'd back him, as long as we guard the dinner dish.
