Snoopy Comes Home -- With Me
I picked these up at a sale on Susan Road last Saturday. They were marked $5, but I got them for $3. They probably date from the early '70's.
I've always had a soft spot for Peanuts and Snoopy licensed products actually aren't that common as Charles Schulz was pretty protective of his properties. I thought these were unusual and they reminded me of that scene in Snoopy Come Home where he's surfing at the beach (about 2:30 into the clip).

just wait a minute... "Peanuts and Snoopy licensed products actually aren't that common"??
ReplyDeleteleaving aside all the Snoppy (a friend's term for bad knock-offs) products, and only counting the official stuff, i think that Schultz is second only to Lucas in marketing the bejeezus out of his product. there is and was peanuts EVERYTHING. this post is a case in point... i mean... waterskis?? schultz was no fool. he got while the getting was good, and he stomped hard on people who tried to use his products without his permission.

ReplyDeleteMaybe I should rephrase that. I never *see* Peanuts licensed products at sales(aside from the occasional Snoopy Sno-cone machine).
I know Avon had a license and there were the aforementioned Sno-cone machine along with the books, but I just don't recall a lot of Snoopy toys being available when I was a kid. I could be wrong.
