Snoopy, the charming beagle Peanuts character debuted by cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, is beloved among students because it is iconic and reminds them of their childhood.

Last year, the AACC Bookstore began selling T-shirts for $23.99 that feature an image of Woodstock, along with the college logo and Snoopy’s Joe Cool persona wearing sunglasses to disguise as a college student.

The T-shirt, however, only comes in children’s sizes, so sales are limited.

Customers are “usually kind of sad that they’re not bigger sizes but they buy them for their young kids at home,” Bookstore Operations Manager Sarah Preis said. Still, Preis added, “It’s nice to know that … somewhere we’ve got little future Riverhawks that are supporting our school and showing their spirit.”

Preis “can’t promise” that adult-sized Snoopy T-shirts or other Peanuts-related items will come to the bookstore because “finding the vendor that gets that [Snoopy] licensing, and then being able to work with them, is really what it comes down to.”

Preis added, “I always like to keep an open mind and a keen eye to look for things that are trendy. Obviously, Snoopy is very trendy right now so I try to keep … an eye out for those items.”

Students told Campus Current they would love to see Snoopy merch for sale on campus.

“I have tons of Snoopy plushies and shirts,” third-year entrepreneurship student Cameron Millar said. “I’d love to see a Snoopy plush that’s wearing an AACC tee. That’d be so cute.”

Some said Snoopy reminds them of time spent with older relatives.
