Visitors to corn mazes across North America are finding a familiar and joyous figure in the winding labyrinth of tall stalks – Snoopy.

More than 80 farms in the US and Canada have teamed up with Peanuts Worldwide to create Peanuts-themed mazes to celebrate the beloved strip’s 75th birthday this summer and autumn.
