• snoopy'nin 50. yıldönümü şerefine yapılan özel baskı "peanuts a golden celebration"da şu satırlar yer alıyor:
  
  "i have been asked many times if i ever dreamed that peanuts would become so successful. obviously i did not know that snoopy was going to go to the moon and i did not know that the term 'happiness is a warm puppy' would prompt hundreds of other such definitions and i did not know that the term 'security blanket' would become part of the american language; but i did have the hope that i would be able to contribute something to a profession that i can now say i have loved all my life. however, i think i always surprise people when i say, 'well, frankly, i guess i did expect peanuts would be successful, because after all, it was something i had planned for since i was six years old.'" -- charles m. schulz
