It is destroyed by a cannon blast in a series of strips from April 1986. This blast also destroys Lucy's psychiatry booth and Schroeder's piano.

A large statue of Spike resides inside the Needles Regional Museum in Needles, California. The Schulz family lived in Needles from 1928 to 1930. [31] Belle Disaster strikes when a fire burns Snoopy's house to the ground in the strip from September 19, 1966.In 1975, Schulz introduced Snoopy’s siblings: Spike, Belle, Marbles, “Ugly” Olaf, and Andy. Later on, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was revealed that Snoopy had two more siblings: Molly and Rover. Spike lived near Needles, California, which is where the Schulz family lived from 1928 to 1930. Schulz, however, regretted giving Snoopy brothers and sisters.

In September 2019, Snoopy appeared in a collection of NASA-themed books to be distributed with McDonald’s Happy Meals. Kids could follow Snoopy’s adventures to the moon and to Mars. Though those books are fictional, Snoopy once tweeted that in 2024, he will be heading to the moon.

In a 1987 interview, Schulz said that he felt introducing Snoopy's siblings was a mistake, similar to the introduction of Eugene the Jeep in Thimble Theatre: "I think Eugene the Jeep took the life out of Popeye himself, and I'm sure Segar didn't realize that. I realized it myself a couple of years ago when I began to introduce Snoopy's brothers and sisters. I realized that when I put Belle and Marbles in there it destroyed the relationship that Snoopy has with the kids, which is a very strange relationship. And these things are so subtle when you're doing them, you can make mistakes and not realize them." [25] Schulz elaborated further in another 1987 interview: "Snoopy had a sister, Belle, whom I discovered I really didn't like. I brought in Spike and I like Spike a lot. But when I brought another brother in — I thought Marbles would make a great name for a dog — I discovered almost immediately that bringing in other animals took the uniqueness away from Snoopy. So the only other animal character who works now is Spike, as long as Spike stays out in the desert." [26] I created the roof by using two longer sections of the second box. This also required that I cut them out separately so they needed to be glued together or something to create a peak.
