Snoopy & Charly Brown

Peanuts... What could I say about Peanuts...
As I don't know where to start I will reproduce exactly what is said at the Wikipedia

Peanuts is a syndicated daily and Sunday comic strip written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, which ran from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000 (the day after Schulz's death). The strip was one of the most popular and influential in the history of the medium. At its peak, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages. Catalan among them. It helped to cement the four-panel gag strip as the standard in the United States. Reprints of the strip are still syndicated and run in many newspapers.

In addition, Peanuts achieved considerable success for its television specials, several of which, including A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown won or were nominated for Emmys. The holiday specials remain quite popular to this day, and are currently broadcast on ABC in the United States during the appropriate season.

Y dicho esto poco más se puede añadir... En España se conoce a esta tira cómica mas por su canino protagonista, Snoopy, que por el nombre original que le dio Schultz. Y aunque originalmente no había un protagonista claro en la tira, pronto ese protagonismo recayó sobre Charlie Brown. Finalmente también destaca Woodstock, el pàrajo amigo de Snoopy.

Potser només em queda ja una cosa a explicar, que és quan va entrar a la meva vida aquesta tira còmica... La veritat és que de nen sempre et parlen de l'Snoopy, el gos, que està dibuixat d'una forma molt senzilla que resulta molt estètica i atractiva per a un jove infant... I així el personatge d'Snoopy va anar impregnant el meu bagatge cultural.
Però ja era grandet quan van caure a les meves mans dos volums de la col·lecció de tires còmiques de Peanuts que pertanyien al meu pare... I en menys d'una hora ja me les havia pulides, captant bona part del que Peanuts i Snoopy representa...
