Schulz introduced the zigzag shirt in a clever way. It’s never mentioned, and it isn’t an issue, and yet in the final panel it looks like Charlie is saying “Tah dah! Check out my new zigzag shirt!”

The zigzag is probably homage to George Herriman and his later “Krazy Kat” strips. Many of these have a similar motif in the form of a desert tree, a lightning bolt or the design on a Navaho vase or drum, inter alia.

This marks the first appearance of the trademark zig-zag pattern on Charlie Brown’s shirt, but here, it is a crew-neck shirt instead of a polo shirt.
