by Catherine O'Dolan on 16/10/2015

Did you know? “Aaugh!” is the frustration phrase of choice used when Peanuts characters scream, often leaning back their heads with their mouths open almost as big as their faces.

Fun fact Charlie Brown’s pet beagle Snoopy (who is blessed with a rich, Walter Mitty -like fantasy life) was originally going to be called “Sniffy”, until creator Charles M Schulz found out that name was used in a different comic strip, so he changed the dog’s name to Snoopy.
