Is he?
does scottie even know? scottie has to know.
>>151765984We have a whole song about him going out drinking with a fucking Nazi during WW2.
I fucking hate Canadians
SCOTTIE ANDREW THINKS WE'RE WHAT
always has been
>>151765984"Scottie Andrew" is Bill Watterson's new online alias.
>>151765984>Is he?No. it's less of Snoopy being a sellout and more of Snoopy's IP holders whoring him out for merchandising and nostalgia bait. The same thing also happens with other classic stuff for many years now and for many years to come.One example of this is Walmart's "WhoKnewVille" recent holiday ad campaign. For some reason, Walmart REALLY needed to play off nostalgia for How the Grinch Stole Christmas with those ads. Kinda harmless, but they were more annoying than cute and they felt like a cheap pop in pro wrestling.>>151766035Yeah, Wildbrain's kinda lame.
>>151767513Here are some other "sellouts.">Garfield going from comic strips to selling merch and mid movies. Owned by Paramount now.>Pooh going from a book to being Disneyfied and then selling merch to babies and Disney adults.>Marvel and DC going from comic books to selling merch and cinematic universes. Much of their popular Golden Age and Silver Age characters are too profitable to kill off or retire, so they're stuck in a seemingly endless reboot cycle. Owned by Disney and Warner Bros. respectively. >TMNT going from comic books to selling toys, merch, and mid movies and animated shows as of late while nostalgia baiting with the '87 TMNT show. Also stuck in a seemingly endless reboot cycle. Owned by Paramount.>Disney Princesses going from being mostly Disneyfied adaptations to selling dolls, merch, and mid live-action remakes. Slick Mick makes pimping look easy.
It's still extremelly popular in Japan.
>>151765984If the headline is a question, the answer is no.
>>151765984The author is dead and has been for 1/4th of a century now. Whatever happens to his IP he has no control over now. He always had merch but it has been very excessive since he died, which I do not hold against the IP if it is others doing it
We just had a Snoopy trail in London.
>>151765984Snoopy isn’t.But Joe Cool is.
>>151765984Here, have a Dolly Madison cupcake while I try to sell you some insurance.Yes, Snoopy is a sellout, but he never pretended otherwise, so you can respect him for that at least.
>>151767513>>151768123I mean Peanuts is majority owned by Sony Music Japan and Wildbrain. The Schulz Estate only owns 20% of the IP now.
>>151766005DON'T TELL SCOTTIESCOTTIE DOESN'T KNOW
>>151765984Of course. Who's going to sell more merch, a funny dog who pretends he's human, or his owner who's the poster-child for anti-depressants. Schulz knew this early on and bit the bullet while he could.
He's too cute
>>151765984Canonically, yes. But Woodstock, canonically, is not.
>>151766007He was partying was with the Red Baron, in WW1.
>>151772981I knew this would be the result when people started referring to explicitly non-Nazi WWII Germans as Nazis. Now the freakin' Red Baron is a Nazi. Where will it all end? Bill Mauldin is a Nazi?
>>151773210Friedrich Ebert is a nazi.
