TOTALLY MADE-UP STORIES 
#1   August 1949, somewhere in America:

Shortly after penning the catchphrase,"Happiness is a warm Pussy", a struggling unknown cartoonist we'll call Charlie S. capitulated to the moral edicts of the church ladies on the editorial board of the local newspaper.

Charlie reluctantly changed the line to puppy and his beloved Mr Whiskers was turned into a dog called Snoopy...

and the rest is history.
