Charlie Brown stands next to Patty, who is sitting in the chair and reading. He looks at her as she asks,“Charlie Brown, see what time it is, please?”

He walks down the hallway.

He looks at the clock which is sitting on a cabinet with a vase of flowers behind it. He is puzzled.

He smiles and looks up at her with his hands outstretched, holding his right hand slightly higher than his left one. She looks at him and says,“Ten minutes to three? All right, thank you”

The first time Charlie Brown appears in his signature zig-zag shirt.

The gag is recycled from the Li’l Folks strip from June 19, 1949:

    Do we know how much older Patty is than Charlie Brown? I knew that Linus and Sally were younger, but I always assumed that the rest of the gang were in the same year.

      We don’t know exactly, but here’s this:

      Patty was apparently the oldest child in the early days of Peanuts, as shown by one strip which revealed that she attends school but Charlie Brown does not.
