JOSEPH SCHLABOTNIK? I think he’s got that one out of place.

Must have been the first time Schulz came up with that name. I’ll bet that later on he just couldn’t resist using it for the name of Charlie Brown’s favorite baseball player.

Good ol’ Joe Schlabotnik. His name always makes me smile in this strip.

There is a subtle difference between Joseph Schlabotnik and Joe Schlabotnik. One uses the more formal “Joseph” while the other uses the casual “Joe.” Perhaps this Joseph Schlabotnik is Joe Schlabotnik’s father.

Schulz would reuse the name as CB’s favorite minor-league ballplayer. He may even have forgotten about this early usage.
