Living Vicariously Through Snoopy

Snoopy is arguably one of the cutest characters in Peanuts and often cited as a fan-favorite character. His imagination and ability to escape reality to pursue fantasy careers as a writer, the Flying Ace, a lawyer and astronaut are both enviable and humorous to readers. Like Charlie Brown, people also tend to see parts of themselves in Snoopy and can relate to his dreamer, critic and egoistic tendencies.
