Since his debut on October 4, 1950, Snoopy has become one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in the comic strip and is considered more famous than Charlie Brown in some countries. The original drawings of Snoopy were inspired by Spike, one of his creator Charles Schulz's childhood dogs, he first appeared sleeping on top of his doghouse rather than inside it on December 12, 1958, and first adopted his World War I Flying Ace persona on October 10, 1965. On November 2, 2015, Snoopy was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, becoming the second Peanuts-related figure to be inducted with a star, after Schulz. In 'Snoopy and It Was a Dark and Stormy Night', Snoopy works on his epic novel, hoping to one day see it in print. It includes a delightful “facsimile edition” of the famous beagle’s published book.
