"But some people detested the new Snoopy and blamed him for what they viewed as the decline of Peanuts in the second half of its 50-year run. 'It's tough to fix the exact date when Snoopy went from being the strip's besetting artistic weakness to ruining it altogether,' the journalist and critic Christopher Caldwell wrote in 2000, a month before Schulz died, in an essay in New York Press titled 'Against Snoopy.' But certainly by the 1970s, Caldwell wrote, Snoopy had begun wrecking the delicate world that Schulz had built."
