Snoopy is Charlie Brown's pet dog in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. Snoopy was introduced in 1950 but was not drawn as walking on his hind legs until 1956. Typically, when Snoopy adorns sunglasses he is acting as his alter-ego "Joe Cool," as first shown in 1971. As Joe Cool, Snoopy pretends to be a college student simply by putting on a pair of sunglasses and leaning against a wall.

Snoopy is Charlie Brown's pet dog in the Peanuts comics by Charles M. Schulz. Though Snoopy's character was introduced in 1950, it was not until 1956 that the dog was illustrated as walking on his hind legs. Throughout the 1960s, Snoopy began to interact with yellow birds in the comics. In 1968, a particular yellow bird named Woodstock was identified as Snoopy's "buddy." Woodstock is consistently portrayed in the comics as having difficulty flying which can be used to explain why he is depicted upside down. Neither character is capable of speech. As such, they communicate through sounds and pantomime yet have no difficulty being understood by each other or other characters.

Sunday school is a class held in churches to teach individuals about Christianity. It is often catered to children and young adults, although many churches offer Sunday school classes for adults as well. Sunday schools were set up in the 1780s in England to teach working class children how to read and write and to give them an understanding of the Bible. However in present-day America, Sunday school serves as an accompaniment to church, rather than an educational institution.
