As I mentioned last week, I’ve recently started reading 3eanuts, a remix project (of a sort) of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts.
This morning, I noticed something, a detail that had somehow escaped my notice for thirty years.
Charlie Brown wears a striped shirt. But it’s not a tee-shirt.
No, Charlie Brown wears a polo shirt. Or possibly a rugby shirt. Either way, it has a collar.
See, I own a yellow striped tee-shirt. Truth to tell, I really want a red striped tee-shirt, which Charlie Brown wore about a third of the time in the Sunday comic strips.
But now that I’ve noticed that it’s a polo shirt, I want a Charlie Brown striped polo shirt. Or rugby shirt.
Preferably red. 🙂
Someone needs to license them and manufacture them…
