Who would Charlie Brown be without his zigzag shirt, Lucy sans her trademark dress, or Peppermint Patty minus her Birkenstock sandals? Most cartoonists dress their characters in the same clothing week in and week out and Charles Schulz was no exception. A character’s clothing helps a reader to establish the character’s identity. Thus many readers believe that Charlie Brown’s zigzag represents what he might describe as his “wishy-washyness” while Lucy’s prim and proper dress conveys a sense of her righteousness. And many fans of Peanuts think that Peppermint Patty’s attire, which certainly telegraphs her athleticism, may also suggest her disregard for some aspects of 1960s-era feminine propriety.
Play Clothes examines the different clothes and corresponding situations with a display of 50 original Peanuts strips.

Charlie Brown
FIRST APPEARANCE:
October 2, 1950
Good ol’ Charlie Brown is loyal, determined, and just a bit wishy-washy. He’s a true friend, a dedicated baseball manager, and very responsible when it comes to taking care of his dog, Snoopy. Charlie Brown never gives up, even when he probably should. He is kind and patient by nature, and wears his heart on his sleeve. He likes helping others, but try as he might, he just can’t seem to help himself.
Charlie Brown's dad is a barber just like Charles Schulz's father was.
DID YOU KNOW:
"Charlie Brown must be the one who suffers, because he’s a caricature of the average person. Most of us are much more acquainted with losing than winning. Winning is great, but it isn’t funny." —Charles M. Schulz
