Yesmar_ 08/03/22 8:38:32 PM #9:	I'm going to have to go with Garfield. He's more recognizable to younger people and the global population is relatively young. If Garfield was unknown to people over a certain age/in a certain region that might change things, but I don't think that's the case. Is Peanuts/Snoopy even that popular outside of the US/Western Europe? I'll gladly be proven wrong, but it seems like such an American property to me, I'd be surprised to find out that it's more popular than Garfield in like East Asia or elsewhere. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

Lopen 08/03/22 8:40:20 PM #10:	I feel like a lot of people born after the year 2000 probably don't know who Snoopy is Like I know who Snoopy is but only from my early childhood. As broadcast television became less relevant so too did the broadcast television ritual Peanuts specials which I would assume is how most people became familiar with Snoopy on a widespread level. Garfield wins this by a comfortable amount I think. He just has more products and stuff out there and more international penetration I believe-- harder to avoid him. --- No problem!

ChichiriMuyo 08/04/22 1:09:41 AM #33:	Looking at it yes, Snoopy is quite popular in Japan and other parts of asia. I don't see much to suggest he's nearly that popular in other parts of the world. Certainly not unknown, just that there isn't as much entusiam. Still, Peanuts is a quintessentially American thing and I suspect that will limit the appeal in many places. Again, this isn't about whether or not the character is know worldwide but which is more well known worldwide and Garfield's staunch resistance to be about anything likely garners him a lot of international favor where Peanuts maybe not as much. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:967059492] in Who is the...

Grand_Kirby 08/04/22 2:37:42 AM #40:	I think it's a mistake to assume that classic Americana doesn't have international appeal though. We know it does; there is plenty of media depicting retro American life that has been globally popular. Just because something is entrenched in the culture of a specific country doesn't mean it is unable to have mass appeal worldwide. That type of thing hasn't stopped American cowboy films, Chinese wuxia stories, or British period pieces from being incredibly popular to people in vastly different regions of the world. Those settings sometimes are beloved all across the globe BECAUSE they depict something that is foreign to many audiences. In The United States Peanuts is enjoyed because the depiction of young children in an American suburb is nostalgic. Elsewhere it's likely that same setting is enjoyed because it gives a glimpse into what that life was like. --- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu That you're a cheater.
