BAY AREA, CA – A new California license plate, intended to help fund state museums, zoos, aquariums, and science centers, will feature the Peanuts comic strip's beloved beagle "Snoopy."

These are places the Peanuts gang creator, Charles M. Schulz, visited to gather inspiration for story lines that brought his endearing characters to life, according to the artist's family and the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

A portion of the fees that the DMV collects from orders of the "Snoopy" plate will be placed into a designated fund administered by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.
