Peanuts has gifted many funny comic strips to audiences, and several are thanks to Snoopy and all of his kooky personas. From a Cheshire Beagle to the Scott Fitzgerald Hero to Joe Cool, Snoopy has done - and been - just about everything. Likewise, Snoopy has imagined himself in just about every profession thanks to his alter egos, with one of his most well-known personas being his World Famous Attorney.

Most of Snoopy's court cases are imaginary, and he frequently defends fictional characters. However, that does not mean that Snoopy does not try to make his cases as realistic as possible. One would think that since a lot of his cases are imagined, he would win all of them, but the inverse is true. Moreover, he has real cases, too, such as when he works as the defense of some of the Peanuts characters, like Peppermint Patty and Linus.

10 "I Brought My Attorney"

January 12th, 1972

Peppermint Patty braves the school sytem when she willfully declines to follow the new school dress code that requires her to wear a dress to school. She does not agree with the new rules and does not think it is fair that she must wear a dress. She decides to enlist the services of the World Famous Attorney to defend her case after she is sent to the principal's office for not wearing clothes according to the dress code.

This strip is, in fact, the first appearance of Snoopy's World Famous Attorney persona.

Snoopy actually puts effort into this case, reading law books to prepare, which is a first for him. When Patty and Snoopy go before the student council to state their case, with Peppermint Patty being the more ionate speaker of the two, she states that she does not think anyone should have the right to tell others what to wear. Unfortunately, they end up losing the case.

9 "Twenty-Four Hours Down the Drain!"

July 4th, 1994

On the Fourth of July, Linus notes to Snoopy's attorney persona that the courthouse is closed for the holiday. Snoopy is well aware, bummed at that he cannot sue someone all day. Making the pointed comment that lawyers look pathetic whenever the courthouse is closed, Snoopy does not disagree, lamenting that twenty-four hours have gone "down the drain."

Snoopy - and this strip in general - does not paint lawyers in the most flattering light, since the World Famous Attorney is upset that he has to go a whole day without suing someone. Skewering the more morally bankrupt of the profession, the Peanuts strips that highlight the World Famous Attorney usually use the character to not-so-fondly comment on lawyers. Likewise, Linus is typically not the biggest fan of Snoopy's lawyer persona, frequently making digs at him... except when he needs his law services.

8 "We've Decided to Settle Out of Court"

February 19th, 1985

Sally decides to be proactive about her homework, forming a plan for a scenario where Charlie Brown refuses to help her. She goes up to him and asks him for help with her homework, threatening to sue if he refuses. Of course, her attorney is the one and only World Famous Attorney. Helping his little sister with her homework, Charlie Brown does so to avoid being sued by Sally's attorney.

Since she no longer has to worry about suing, she lets Snoopy know that she will not be needing him, since she and Charlie Brown have settled out of court. This news is unfortunate for Snoopy, who has no clue how he is going to be able to pay for his new briefcase. Really counting on the money from the homework case, the World Famous Attorney is out of luck.

7 "Stop Scattering Straw on the Floor"

September 19th, 1998

Snoopy has had some unique clients, with quite a few being characters from books or just random objects. Defending his new client, who is a scarecrow, the World Famous Attorney details to the judge that the scarecrow was just innocently minding his own business before being attacked by some of the farmer's crows.

The judge does not seem to be too empathetic towards the scarecrow's plight, because all that the judge is concerned about is the straw being scattered on the floor by the scarecrow. Snoopy tries his best to defend his scarecrow client, but the judge is more focused on the mess than Snoopy's case. However, it does not really matter at the end of the day, since Snoopy's lawyer persona has a pretty poor track record for winning cases.

6 "A Felony"

November 9th, 1982

Linus shares some very important (and rudimentary) law information with the World Famous Attorney, who should probably already know the law. Regardless, Linuis shares what his book says about misdemeanors, providing jaywalking as an example, as well as information about what a felony is. Snoopy provides an example of a felony, which is a serious offense - "like not feeding the dog!"

Linus helps Snoopy learn even the most basic of law for his esquire persona.

In a dog's world, Snoopy's version of a felony definitely makes sense. This scene is not the first or last time that Linus shares legal with Snoopy's World Famous Attorney persona. Based on the strips, Linus has a bit of a love-hate relationship with this specific Snoopy persona, deriding him and helping him in turns. Either way, Linus helps Snoopy learn even the most basic of law for his esquire persona.

5 "That's What You Think!"

February 16th, 1991

In a dark Valentine's Day storyline, Linus deeply offends Sally when she asks him if he got the valentine that she sent him, g it "your sweet Babbooette." Linus responds that if he saw it, he would have thrown it away if Babbooette was anywhere on it. Furious, Sally unleashes her rage by hitting Linus with her lunchbox. As a result, Linus prepares to sue for the attack and enlists Snoopy as his lawyer.

Coming to Sally's front door with his attorney, Linus lets her know that he is suing her for hitting him with her lunchbox. Sally has another plan in place instead, preparing to throw Snoopy's supper dish over the fence if they try to sue her. Snoopy doesn't prize much above his food dish, so he decides - after careful consideration, of course - that they do not have a case and will not be suing.

4 "That Stupid Looking Red Riding Hood"

October 20th, 1999

As Snoopy sits with his client, Little Red Riding Hood, while suing the wolf who ate her grandmother, the judge wants the World Famous Attorney to ask an important question. Snoopy asks his client on behalf of the judge why she is wearing that "stupid looking red riding hood" in the courtroom. Given that her choice of clothing is in her name, Snoopy should have known what to expect from Little Red Riding Hood and her sartorial choices.

This strip is the only Peanuts daily to reference Little Red Riding Hood.

Snoopy always tries to come to his imagined court dressed professionally, with his bowtie, briefcase, and hat. However, his clients have apparently not gotten the memo to come dressed appropriately. Little Red Riding Hood's fashion should not deter her getting justice from the wolf who ate her grandma. This case should be open-and-shut after all.

3 "Aren't You Coming In?"

August 15th, 1992

In a storyline that shows Sally trying to get to Hollywood via a flight on Ace Airlines, she never gets farther than her backyard. However, she still gets stuck with a bill of $100 for her ticket, which Sally refuses to pay since she never got anywhere. Enlisting Snoopy to help with fighting this unjust bill, she gets the World Famous Attorney to work on her case.

The pilot and CEO of Ace Airlines is another one of Snoopy's alter egos, so the fact that Snoopy is too scared to go into the courthouse has multiple reasons behind it.

After already having trouble just finding the courthouse, they are not off to a great start. Once they finally find the building, Sally waits for Snoopy on the courthouse steps - but she'll be waiting a long time, because Snoopy realizes that this has all become a little too real and that he is in way over his head. World Famous Attorney or not, Snoopy is scared off by the actual courthouse and gets cold feet, much to Sally's anger.

2 "I Always Color the Sky Blue"

September 22nd, 1996

Linus, as a client of the World Famous Attorney, makes clear his need for Snoopy to sit next to him once they get into the courtroom. Seeing the courtroom and the judge, Linus is content sitting with Snoopy at their table. He sees his lawyer writing something and assumes that it is notes for the case, happy that he has such a well-prepared and hard-working attorney.

Unfortunately for Linus, Snoopy has actually been coloring, proudly showing that he always colors the sky blue in his pictures. Snoopy loves to color, with several strips showing his penchant for the activity. However, a hearing is maybe not the best time to be coloring, especially when there has been no other preparation for the case. At least Snoopy knows the sky is blue, which is quite a big feat, since dogs are colorblind.

1 "May We Have a Ten Minute Recess?"

August 2nd, 1995

Snoopy has the case of a lifetime: defending Petter Rabbit. Making the case that not only did Peter Rabbit never have any intentions of going into Mr. McGregor's Garden, Snoopy goes a step further and asserts that Mr. McGregor severely wronged Peter Rabbit. Snoopy makes the assertion that Peter Rabbit was just a little innocent bunny being chased with a rake by Mr. McGregor, who has caused much emotional distress for his client.

Snoopy embraces pathos, with both Petter Rabbit and Snoopy sniffling from crying. Laying it on thick, the World Famous Attorney and his client act like they are so overtaken by emotion after ing the rake that they need to take a ten-minute recess. As dramatic as Snoopy resorted to being in order to win in this Peanuts strip, he ends up losing the case anyway, blaming it on the judge never liking him and Peter Rabbit being guilty to begin with.
