Charlie Brown is commonly misinterpreted as being "bald", when in fact what many regard as a little bit of hair at the front is actually an artistic short-cut representing the front of his hairline, and Linus has commented in A Charlie Brown Valentine that he is "kind of blond". In You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown, after winning the motorcross and getting a prize of 'five free haircuts', he mentions that he doesn't "have much hair to cut." He commonly wears a collared shirt with a black zigzag across the middle. The shirt originally tended to be red in the Sunday comics, blue on Peanuts merchandise items, and yellow on the animated television specials. With the influence of the television specials, the shirt now tends to be yellow in all media. He commonly wears black shorts, yellow socks and brown shoes.
