Snoopy's father

Snoopy's parents are minor animal characters in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. They made one appearance each in the strip.

Snoopy's father is seen in the strip from Sunday June 18, 1989 , Father's Day of that year. He receives a Father's Day card with eight paw prints on it, which he says is signed by all eight of his offsprings (namely, Snoopy, Spike, Belle, Marbles, Andy, Olaf, Molly and Rover). He lives in Florida and is very fond of fishing and playing canasta. Snoopy says in a strip that it was his father who taught him his Cheshire Beagle trick.

Snoopy's mother is one of only two Peanuts characters to have first appeared in an animated television special before later appearing in the comic strip, (the other one being Snoopy's brother Andy). Snoopy's mother, named as Missy in the special, is seen in a flashback in Snoopy's Reunion, which was first televised on May 1, 1991. Her first appearance in the comic strip is in the strip from July 26, 1996, in which she travels on a World War I troopship to visit Spike, (in the infantry), who is ill. One strip Snoopy says that she actually had a little theater group.

In many Mother's Day/Father Day's strips, Snoopy often expresses sadness that he was separated from them as a puppy. However two strips have shown that Snoopy was able to call/write to each of his parents for said holiday before, meaning they at least still have some contact/know their location. Yet it is unknown why they never arranged a visit like him and his siblings have.

Snoopy's father was added to the game Snoopy's Town Tale in September 2020 for the Peanuts 70th Anniversary event. He returned in September 2023 as part of the Farm Field Trip event.

Trivia[]

  • In the TV special, Snoopy's Reunion, Snoopy's mother is given the name Missy, and in the iPad app Snoopy's Street Fair, his father is given the name Baxter. However, neither of these names have been given in strip, and therefore, cannot be considered canon.
  • In the strip she appeared to have eyes like Marbles, but in the special she has dot eyes with eyelashes.
  • Unlike Snoopy's father, it is unknown where his mother's current whereabouts are. One strip Snoopy addresses a card for her to Daisy Hill, yet he never meets up with or mentions her whenever he went to the farm during some storylines. Not to mention with the farm later being taken down for a parking lot, it is unknown where she resides now as she was not mentioned being with his father in Florida.
