Snoopy

Scooby
The correct answer is "Snoopy". Snoopy made his first appearance in the comic strip "Peanuts" in October 1950, although he wasn't given a name until almost a week later. Snoopy evolved more than any other "Peanuts" character, according to his creator Charles M. Shultz. Snoopy became more anthropomorphic as the strip developed, to the point that even Snoopy thought he was a human. Among his famous alter-egos were the famous war pilot, Joe Cool, Attorney, and figure skater. He was often pictured playing baseball with the neighbourhood children and attempting to write a novel, although he never got past "It was a dark and stormy night".
Snoopy was also the mascot for several different corporations, including the Apollo Program, the Sonoma County Airport, and a division of the United States Air force.
