Award-winning Snoopy

Schulz/Peanuts news

I’m at a convention this week. Went to an award ceremony today, and something Peanuts got an award. Now, I’m used to seeing that happen when I go to comic convention award ceremonies… but this wasn’t a comics convention. It’s a museum store convention, for folks who run the gift shops at museums and those of us who sell things to said shops.

So what award went for Snoopy? Was it this one??

No, that Joe Cool is actually not a Peanuts license. It’s an unrelated brand.

The 2025 MSA Award for Best Novelty went to…

Snoopy’s Moon Rocks Space Candy!!

(And to be accurate, there were two awards given, as it tied for first in the vote count. So it was really a winner, not the winner.)
