Beagle of Valor

Beagle of Valor

Bill Watterson, the reclusive artist who drew the beloved newspaper strip Calvin and Hobbes, was not, according to comic-book artist Dan Clowes, "fit to hold Charles Schulz's jock strap" back when Schulz was in his prime. During Schulz's midcareer creative renaissance, both he and his Peanuts beagle character, Snoopy, entered their own imaginations more deeply than they had previously. Snoopy's Walter Mitty-like inner life included stints as a World War I flying ace, pitting his Sopwith Camel fighter plane (actually his doghouse) against the infamous Red Baron. Through November 29, the World War I Museum presents Snoopy as the World War I Flying Ace, an exhibit of original Peanuts strips featuring Snoopy's wartime fantasies, along with related pieces of World War I memorabilia.
