Charles M. Schulz on Woodstock. Woodstock is a major animal character in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. He is best known as Snoopy 's sidekick and best friend. He is named after the music festival in New York state.
He first appeared in Peanuts on March 4, but did not have a name until June 22, Snoopy started befriending birds in the early s. His bird friends appeared occasionally, and, unlike Woodstock, looked like actual birds. Woodstock made his debut, in March , when one of Snoopy's bird friends made her nest on Snoopy's stomach. After the mother bird left and did not come back, Snoopy decided to care for the birds until they hatched which proved to be very difficult.
When the eggs hatched two baby birds were born. Snoopy soon made them fly away, but one bird, who would later be named as Woodstock, who had a lot of trouble flying, came back. The undertalented bird stayed by Snoopy and his doghouse. At first, Snoopy was annoyed by the winged pest, but eventually warmed to him. Woodstock first appears, together with his unnamed sibling, in the strip from March 4, The bird was named Woodstock on June 22, Since then, Snoopy and Woodstock have been close friends.
Snoopy even became friends with Woodstock's friends , who do not look like normal birds either. Woodstock and his bird friends together form Snoopy's Beagle Scouts. Woodstock joins in many of Snoopy's fantasy games. The pair sometimes argue but they always hug and make up and their disagreements are quickly forgiven and forgotten. Woodstock never speaks normal words. The only non-avian character who can understand Woodstock's speech is Snoopy. When depicted in the comic strip, his speech is rendered almost entirely in "chicken scratch" marks, with Snoopy either directly translating or allowing the reader to deduce Woodstock's meaning in the context of Snoopy's replies.
Woodstock does make non-verbal noises such as yawns, [1] laughter, sighs [2] and "Z"s or snores to indicate sleep. He also uses punctuation marks like "! In the movies and television specials, the chicken scratches are rendered audibly as a staccato series of high-pitched honks and squawks by Snoopy's voice actor, Bill Melendez.
Despite being a bird, Woodstock is a very poor flyer. It may be because of his small wings, or it may be because, due to his mother abandoning him, Snoopy had to teach him to fly. He flitters around in erratic fashion, often upside down, and frequently crashes into things. In one storyline, Woodstock actually walked South for the winter, with help from Snoopy.
He usually manages to get where he wants to go, though, as long as he does not have to fly too high. It is interesting to note that prior to Woodstock being named a "Bird Hippie" whom Woodstock resembles greatly, minus the long hair and peace necklace appeared in the strip from November 1, Strip from January 26,
