To celebrate the 65th anniversary of Charles Schulz’s cartoon character Snoopy, a special exhibition titled “Snoopy in Love” is being held at Lotte Avenuel World Tower Art Hall in eastern Seoul until Sept. 8 and Lotte Gallery at Lotte Department Store’s main branch in central Seoul until Oct. 4.
“Since Snoopy comic strips not only are hilarious and charming but also distill Schulz’s own philosophy into simple but impressive characters and emotional stories, Snoopy has been served as a popular character among American adults as well as children,” Corry Kanzenberg, senior curator at the Schulz Museum, said during the press conference on July 30.
It is the first time for the original pieces drawn by Schulz, the original creator of the comic strip “Peanuts” (1950-2000) and its character Snoopy, to visit Korea, according to exhibition organizers.
For more than 50 years, Schulz’s drawings were published serially as a cartoon strip each day.
