"Snoopy" "Linus" and "Sally" characters in the "Peanuts" cartoon, but are named "Snoopie" a dog, "Lynus" a young boy and "Sallie" a young girl in the "Peenutz" cartoon. In this cartoon Snoopie is looking up at a castle where a voice is saying "why have you forsaken me", Lynus is in a room saying "have I upset you, I am so sorry, I'll do anything to make it up to you now, yes, anything." Snoopie is standing next to Sallie. They both ascend some stairs that are presumably in the castle. As they are ascending the stairs Snoopie is looking at the rear of Sallie, saying "Boy o Boy, look at that mmm-mmm." Sallie then has a shocked look on her face because she observes that Lynus has hung himself and is hanging from the ceiling with his tongue stuck out. Snoopie is in the background saying "tsk, tsk ... what a shame!", and as Sallie hugs Lynus around the waist as he is hanging from the ceiling Snoopie says "poor Sallie... Poor Sallie". Snoopie then stands behind Sallie with his trousers down to his feet and asks her to bend over saying to her that "Snoopie is going to make it all better". At the same time he is holding her with both hands just below the waist. Snoopie's sexual organ is not exposed. The next frame shows Sallie saying "Oh Snoopie" followed by the caption that indicates that the moans of pleasure "are followed by Snoopie's climactic howl". For the prosecution Dr. Check described the Snoopie character as following the child character Sallie up a flight of stairs with his tongue hanging out and his eyes wide with excitement because he is looking up the dress of Sallie who is just ahead of him. Sallie is crying because her friend Lynus has hung himself. Snoopie says to Sallie "bend over, Snoopie is going to make it better". As Snoopie says this he grabs Sallie from behind pulls up her dress while his trousers are down. According to Dr. Check although it is not explicitly depicted, Snoopie is obviously having intercourse with Sallie from the rear with an angry or evil look on his face". Dr. Check notes that the text goes on to state "Sallie's moans of pleasure are followed by Snoopie's climactic howl", Dr. Check testified that the Peenutz comic depicted bestiality and child sexual abuse that exceeded the contemporary Canadian Standard of tolerance.
