| - Joe made his first strip appearance on April 7, 1995. Joe is an expert marbles player and is portrayed as the neighborhood bully. He uses a cruel trick to cheat Rerun out of his marbles, but Charlie Brown eventually finds a way to win them back. The strips in which Joe Agate appeared were adapted for the 2006 animated television special, He's a Bully, Charlie Brown. He appears as the main antagonist, robbing many innocent kids (including Rerun) of their marbles. In the special, Joe actually beats Charlie Brown at first. But after realizing that Joe Cool (Snoopy) was holding on to two of his marbles, Charlie Brown is given another chance to play Joe Agate and manages to win back all the marbles for the children. While not specifically identified as Joe Agate, a similar-looking bully makes an appearance in the 1990 animated television special, Why, Charlie Brown, Why?. The bully is shown mocking a young cancer patient, Janice, for wearing a hat and having a bald head. This leads Linus van Pelt to angrily confront him, The bully soon apologizes and is seen at the end of the special cheering when Janice reveals that her hair has grown back. Considering the special aired five years before Joe Agate's debut in the strip, however, it is unlikely to be him, though the design might have influenced the character's appearance
- Joe Agate is the main antagonist of the 2006 special, He's a Bully, Charlie Brown, the last Peanuts special to have Bill Melendez involved.

Particularly, he tricks Rerun Van Pelt, the brother of Lucy Van Pelt and Linus Van Pelt, whose paternal grandfather, Felix, was once a marble's champion in 1939. By the end, Charlie Brown (the protagonist, of course), who has learned from a disguised Snoopy, how to play marbles, scolds Joe for playing beginners and tricking the kids. He then challenges Joe to a marble's game for keeps. As Charlie Brown has lost, he is given another chance by Snoopy, who has kept two of the marbles. Joe questions Charlie for it, but the latter tells him the marbles are his because Snoopy is his dogs. As soon as Joe tries to show a trick that never misses, it actually does this time, so Charlie wins the last marble, including Joe's shooter. Joe gives up the marbles he had taken from Rerun, and then goes away.
