Snoopy remained flat-footed until the following winter when on Jan. 5, 1956, Snoopy first walked on two legs. Peanuts was first published in 1950 and gained steady readership by 1955.<\/p>\n<p>This cartoon, created exclusively for the March 18, 1955,\u00a0<em>Manitou Messenger<\/em>\u00a0is a little odd. Further investigation reveals the hidden meaning behind the helmets and projecting antennas. The theme of the spring 1955 Student Chest Carnival was &#8220;2002 &#8212; space ships, rockets, flying saucers &#8212; a new world of science, of new planets discovered, of trips to the moon, of ray guns and green men.\u201d The cutline under the drawing says, &#8220;Best wishes to everyone involved, and may your carnival be a complete success.&#8221; I assume that Schulz sent an original drawing to the Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the Archives does not have this drawing nor do we know who does.
