NEW YORK (Reuters) – The "Peanuts" comic strip character Snoopy was named the top dog in pop culture by the American Kennel Club on Tuesday as part of its 125th anniversary celebration, beating out a college sports mascot.

 

Nearly 76,000 online voters chose their favorites from a list of pop culture dogs drawn from television, film, literature, sports and art, the kennel club said.

 

Snoopy was the pensive dog whose best friend was a bird and who seemed to be smarter than his human master in the comic strip created by the late Charles Schulz, who died in 2000.

 

"Peanuts," which for close to five decades served as a mirror for the baby boom generation, appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 21 languages. Its daily readership was believed to be the most of any comic strip in history.

 

Second place went to Texas A&M University's mascot Reveille, followed by Scooby Doo, the television cartoon character.

Lassie

 

Rin Tin Tin

Yeah, what about Rex the Wonder Dog ?!?

Hard to believe this would be the order of the top 125 dogs in pop culture of all time. Eddie from Frasier in front of Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Marmaduke, Clifford, and Underdog?

Internet poll - Bah! Obviously a push by Aggies to vote for their mascot got it to #2. And no Snowy/Milou, Tintin's dog?

 

Still I would agree that Snoopy is far and away the most famous fictional dog.

Did Schulz do the cover and interior art on the Tip Tops.

Snoopy for the win but Texas A&M University's mascot Reveille

Did Schulz do the cover and interior art on the Tip Tops.

 

Yes and yes. The interiors are reprinted strips, but the covers are original work (thumbs u

Scooby Doo should have been second behind Snoopy.

This link should take you to the very last Rang-A-Tang story from Blue Ribbon #22, courtest of Shield's marvelous MLJ web site. It's an especially touching story. I kid not.

I remember reading a coverless golden age comic set during WW II with a character named Snoopy. Wonder if Schulz got the name from that?
