Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 15, 2024

Inspiration for the Charlie Brown watch.

Oh, I thought it was quarter after ten.

First appearance of the famous Charlie Brown shirt!

If they had digital, what would he have done?

Gotta hand it to CB for this.

Good one, I guess he is too young to tell time, or just being inventive!

Zig zag shirt premiere, 12-21-50. And, yes, I would’ve loved to see CB express time digitally!!

My four-year-old granddaughter has become a peanuts fan (because of the Christmas Special on TV). She now has a genuine Charlie Brown shirt.

Denlennwen just asked about the shirt in the January 13, 2024 comments. As noted by others above, here is the debut of the striped shirt. This strip is from December 21, 1950, when Peanuts had been running for less than three months.

And most young folk now would have no idea what time it is.

There it is; the icon.

Semaphore saves the day.
