Snoopy

Cookiefying  Snoopy, my all-time favourite cartoon character


Born in the 60's, I grew up with the Peanuts gang, in an era when the pleasures of life were small and simple. My Sunday dose of good cheer  was pulling the Sunday Funnies out of the newspaper after  returning from  Mass and chuckling over Peanuts. The following day, I would cut out the comic strip and glue  it to my scrap book. I named it my Happy Book. Over the years, whenever I was in a funk, I could count on my Happy Book to turn my frown upside down. It was an instant pick-me-up.
When I was in Form Three (lower secondary school), a very dear friend gave me this cute Peppermint Patty trophy and it kept me company when I went to college and throughout a large part of my adult life. I can still find it on my nightstand in my childhood bedroom whenever I visit my parents.


When Charles Schulz died in 2000, I felt like I had lost a lifetime companion. But thankfully, the Peanuts gang lives on and they always will have a special place in my heart. PEANUTS are forever!

My favourite Peanuts moment
I love you Snoopy and thanks for the many happy childhood memories.
The loser who never gave up

  1. The cookie came out great! I too enjoyed the Peanuts crew growing up and into my adulthood with the comic strip. Charles Schultz left a great legacy behind with the characters he created!

  8. Snoopy will always have a special place in my heart. My Dad was a fan of Snoopy and we called our first cat Woodstock. I’ve been told I’m like Linus but I suck my thumb and have a blanket �� only on a night though - ha ha #KCACOLS
