<P> His name was first used on May 30 , 1948 , in an early Schulz comic strip called Li'l Folks in which one boy has buried another in a sandbox and then denies that he has seen the other boy ( `` Charlie Brown '' ) when asked . He made his official debut in the first Peanuts comic strip , on October 2 , 1950 . The strip features Charlie Brown walking by , as two other children named Shermy and Patty look at him . Shermy refers to him as `` Good Ol ' Charlie Brown '' as he passes by , but then immediately reveals his hatred toward him once he is gone on the last panel . During the strip 's early years , Charlie Brown was much more playful than he is known for , as he often played pranks and jokes on the other characters . On December 21 of the same year , his signature zig - zag T - shirt appeared ; formerly , he only wore a plain one . On the March 6 , 1951 , strip , Charlie Brown first appears to play baseball , as he was warming up before telling Shermy that they can start the game ; however , he was the catcher , not yet the pitcher . </P>
