Of all the Joe Shlabotniks in the world, he’s the Joe Shlabotnikiest.

Re: Panel 2-that every single athlete except Joe Shlabotnik showed up: that’s because there is NO SUCH person, by that name, in reality! Only in recent years, has it dawned on me, that the reason Joe Shlabotnik did not come to the banquet, nor was Charlie Brown ever successful at finding a bubble gum card, with Shlabotnik’s picture on it, is JUST THAT REASON—he is merely FICTIONAL, in other words.
