The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 09, 2013

Marcie let’s her secret slip.

The love that dare not say its name!

Spit it out, Chuck; whaddaya really think?

Marcie, Marcie, Marcie……..or was that Marsha, Marsha, Marsha? I wonder if Peppermint knows she’s got a special friend!

Oh, the double entendres are about to overflow the banks.

“Peanuts” was getting stale until Peppermint Pattie spiced things up. She changed the whole flavor of the strip. Really.

I cannot believe people will take something innocent and try to ruin it with unaccounted slanders. Peanuts was just a good old-fashioned comic/cartoon. No need to turn it into something that stinks.

Is this a new take on the “I was kicked out of the Boy Scouts for eating a Brownie.”, joke?

Charlie Brown is a cannibal!

Tastes like chicken!

“Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” coming a bit late to Peanuts?

Gingers know how to spice things up.

Our deli doesn’t carry peppermint paté . . . ☻

Marcie’s aparently going out for the “other team”… tomorrows episode… “Munchies in the Locker Room”

While the York Peppermint Pattie was first produced in the 40’s, it didn’t get national distribution until 1975, some 9 years after the Peppermint Patty character. Since Schultz was from Minnesota, it is possible that he was unfamiliar with the confection, which was limited in distribution to the Northeast and Florida.

I just don’t want to see Charlie Brown chewing on Bazooka Joe’s gum

Since the name is only cute if you already know the candy…

“Schulz has said in several interviews that he named Peppermint Patty after a dish of peppermint candies he had in his office, and simply thought the name too good to pass up. "Wikipedia

So, in the UK; it’s equivalent would have been Fry’s Chocolate Cream?

Love this comic !
