On the trail of Rententen, aka Corporal Yellmen, Detective Lassiter sends your wizard to talk with the off-duty troops that the legendary spy has talked to. Major Clifford and Lieutenant Snoopers are two of Her Majesty’s finest.
Lieutenant Snoopers is surprised to learn that “Old Yeller” was in fact a Pingouin spy. Rententen spoke of a world without royalty, a world where nobody anything. Things just magically happened and everyone had Pegasus wings. In this wonderful world, the only thing you had to fear was your neighbors and their wicked ways. Lieutenant Snoopers liked this world of Rententen’s description but he doesn’t know which way the legendary spy has gone.
Snoopy is an anthropomorphic beagle in the comic strip Peanuts by American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. He also appears in all of the Peanuts films and television specials. Since his debut on October 4, 1950, Snoopy has become one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in the comic strip and is considered more famous than Charlie Brown in some countries. The original drawings of Snoopy were inspired by Spike, one of Schulz’s childhood dogs.
Snoopy is a loyal, imaginative, and good-natured beagle who is prone to imagining fantasy lives, including being an author, a college student known as “Joe Cool”, an attorney, and a World War I flying ace. He is perhaps best known in this last persona, wearing an aviator’s helmet and goggles and a scarf while carrying a swagger stick (like a stereotypical British Army officer of World War I and II).
All of his fantasies have a similar formula. Snoopy pretends to be something, usually “world famous”, and fails. His short “novels” are never published. His Sopwith Camel is consistently shot down by his imaginary rival enemy, the German flying ace the “Red Baron”. Schulz said of Snoopy’s character in a 1997 interview: “He has to retreat into his fanciful world in order to survive. Otherwise, he leads kind of a dull, miserable life. I don’t envy dogs the lives they have to live.”
