Nuts for Peanuts

Charles Schulz, creator of the beloved Peanuts strip, had his first drawing published at just 13. It was of Spike, his childhood dog that would come to serve as his inspiration for Snoopy. Schulz self-submitted the drawing of his hound/pointer cross to Ripley’s Believe it or Not, who published the image in February of 1937. The public’s love for Snoopy endures—Twentieth Century Fox's all new The Peanuts Movie will be in theaters November 6th.
