In the early sixties, Peanuts creator Chuck Schulz created a character to be friends with Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy. One particular bird he befriended did not have a name, and Schultz would go almost a decade without naming his iconic little yellow bird.
But, all that changed as soon as Woodstock happened. Schulz didn’t give him a name until June 22, 1970. He acknowledged in many interviews that the bird was named after the rock festival, which seems fitting since the festival’s logo has a bird perched on a guitar.
