No matter what your passion, there's a Snoopy for you, whether you're into politics or just searching for the perfect gift this holiday season, you'll find it at CafePress.comFOSTER CITY, CA (September 21, 2005) - CafePress.com and Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates today announced the launch of the Snoopy Store, a store with character - Peanuts© characters, that is. Now fans can proudly support the Peanuts� Gang - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Pigpen, Peppermint Patty, Linus and more - on products ranging from apparel to framed prints, mugs and tile coasters to BBQ aprons and mousepads. As all fans know, each Peanuts� character brings special humor and insight to life.
Beginning today, enthusiasts young and old can get dirty with Pigpen by sporting t-shirts and other apparel emblazoned with everyone's favorite mud-soaked Peanuts© character. Linus lovers can gear up for Halloween by wearing the "Dear Great Pumpkin, Well I waited and you didn't show up," t-shirt or sweatshirt. Political aficionados can support Charlie Brown's campaign by drinking their morning coffee or tea out of a "Chuck for President" mug.
And, just in time for the holiday season, the Snoopy Store features designs that will take all fans back to one of their fondest television memories, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Designs are available on a range of products, including the 1955 strip featuring Snoopy in a stocking, hanging from the chimney, with Charlie Brown and Lucy proclaiming, "Oh Good Grief."
"We're thrilled that such an important American icon has joined the CafePress community," said Maheesh Jain, co-founder and vice president of business development for CafePress.com. "Charles Schulz was a hero to many, and we love being able to help share his work with fans."
Designs available through the Snoopy Store at CafePress.com were hand selected by employees at Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates, and showcase some rarely seen images from the comic strip's 50-year history.
"This store will be fan driven from day one. After all, we are all fans of the Peanuts© Gang," said Paige Braddock, creative director at Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates. "We believe we've done a good job of selecting images from the strip that folks have probably never seen on products before. And this comes at the same time as the strip's 55-year anniversary. What better way to celebrate than to give something back to the fans."
