The Swedish word "snopp" translates to "Willie" in English, correct?

This is so adorable--I once saw something on pirated merchandise where Snoopy was spelled as "Spoony."

I once saw an Engrish version where it was spelled SPOONY. Only on the internet, alas, not in real life. I would have bought it in a second if I saw it in real life.

lol it almost feels right, as if you were trying to avoid copyright infringement. Still, a very nice rendition!

Yay, Snoopy! Oh- wait, it's his twin Snoppy, well finally Snoppy got fanart

Oh I'm sure Snoopy is unaware it's misspelled. After all, he's a dog. I'm pretty sure he's illiterate.
That Woodstock is super cute! It actually looks like a bird but hasn't lost any of the charm from the original design.

I think Snoopy and his type-writer would disagree with you (as would the editor he is always writing to).

Now see, the way I interpreted that even as a kid was that, like the times where he'd pretend that his plane was shooting Nazis over France, that he was pretending to type so you basically have this dog pounding away at keys with his little doggy paws and his gripping suspense novels really read as "FDSJLJLKLAZSWQAEPPOSA".
Charlie Brown didn't really give his pet the appropriate toys it needed.

The difference there though is that there is never actually a sopwith camel, it's always his doghouse that he's sitting on.
Snoopy also gets mail back, can read signs, reads books at the library, reads letters (it's a letter from Lila that leads him to leave and go see her in the hospital), and other characters read his writings as well.
But this is a world where two characters aged from baby to kindergartener to match other characters (Sally and Rerun) while no one else aged, adults are never seen only ever say 'blah blah blah', trees eat kites, dogs walk on two legs, a cat can carve words and pictures into a dog house with a single paw swipe, a kid can play full Beethoven symphonies on a toy piano, and a group of kids and a dog can drive across Europe, etc.Ā Snoopy was never meant to be just a dog, and the kids aren't really meant to be kids.Ā *shrug*

Yes, but what's proving that all these things actually happen? A lot of these things described can also be a Calvin and Hobbes situation where Charlie Brown just believes that his dog is super smart when in reality it's just a mangy mutt laying on top of a doghouse. A lot of those descriptions like the kite-eating tree, the adults only speaking in trumpet, and the Beethoven symphonies on a toy piano in the perspective of children could just be attributed to a child's point of view. A lot of those things you mentioned are only seen by one of the children; Charlie Brown has a hell of a time trying to prove that kite-eating tree exists.
But then again I always felt like Calvin and Hobbes ended up perfecting the groundwork and formula that The Peanuts set up, where you have these children grasping more advanced concepts but they actually still feel like kids instead of weird little muppets with adult brains in little bodies who wax philosophy while grappling with depression in the case of Charlie Brown, the eternally suffering child who gets blamed for throwing an entire football match when it was Lucy was the one who tore the ball away at the last second.
No, seriously, that special sucked.
Also, note that I am also saying all these things tongue-in-cheek and was just joking about the dog in favor of excusing "Snoppy". I just find Snoopy as a whole really weird, especially when you have one of the kids believe he's a funny-looking kid and at several points in the strip, flirts with the dog.

Snoopy was more dog like in earlier strips but after Sparky featured him doing things like carrying around his dog bowl and such his kids and readers enjoyed it so much that he kept making him more and more intelligent. The first Christmas special solidified it and then afterwards it became a running gag. Snoopy is Snoopy because it's funnier for him to be that way. Plus it meant they could use him as commentary (like in Snoopy come home).Ā

I do own a golden collection of the Peanuts strips, and one of the more fascinating things is watching how that entire universe's reality evolves dramatically throughout the years and things just start getting weird. The children in the earlier strips are also more kid-like with less intelligent dialogue. Over time, The Peanuts universe began to mutate until the characters are no longer properly grounded in reality and exist in a universe that doesn't follow any of our rules.
With that being said, the really loose reality surrounding Snoopy does get really goofy if you apply any thought to it like the small children flirting with what is basically a pet, how he can write letters and novels but they can put "no dogs allowed" signs on buildings and basically won't allow him at the dinner table, the Joe Cool persona. Obviously the author was not aiming for that, especially in the way Snoopy became a cartoon icon. I just find it kind of fun trying to figure out whether Charlie Brown just has an overactive imagination in his giant round head of his or if his world is a terrifying wasteland with trumpet-speaking adults and kite-eating trees. The kids do not age. The Great Pumpkin never shows up. That football will never be kicked.
Also, hahaha, I wasn't expecting my off-hand remark about "Snoppy" to turn into a big thread about Snoopy's level of intelligence. I do apologize to the artist if this comes off as annoying.
