Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Marcie appeared much later than Peppermint Pattie. Some time in the mid-70s, I think though I could be wrong. I remember it because they met at camp, and it was about the time I first went to summer camp which would put it about 1976.
Itâs funny. It seems most of you have already read all the strips and know all the characters as they appear. This is my first through the Peanuts strips. Itâs ok, I can deal with the spoilers. :D
You have to remember that Peppermint Patty is 7 or 8 years old. A bit early to guess that she is a lesbian. I have seen some 8 year old tomboys grow up to be stunningly gorgeous 18 year old girls.
Iâve never saw Peppermint Patty in the strip before but I did hear she was going to appear in it soon.Iâve only been a Peanuts reader for over 2 years.xxx
Peppermint Patty lives in a nearby neighborhood â wait âtil her baseball team starts coming over to crush CBâs team! And later, the classic âHa-Ha Hermanâ game storyline when she lets Marcie know her true feelings for Charlie Brown.
Indian wrestling is a form of arm-wrestling done with the two contestants standing side by side, but facing opposite directions. So, if youâre looking at two people Indian wrestling, youâll see two people side by side, but the one on the right will be facing you while the other will have his back to you. The two contestants then grip each otherâs right hand and have their right foot flush against the opponentâs right foot. Without making contact with any other part of your opponentâs body, the object is to try to unbalance your opponent, while he, of course, tries to do the same to you. The first one who falls, or at least loses his footing so that he has to move his feet to maintain his balance, is the loser.
Yes, there is a form of leg wrestling called Indian wrestling, but thatâs NOT what the kids were calling Indian wrestling in 1966.
This is INDIAN WRESTLING. Itâs done almost naked in a sand pit. There is a lot of body contact.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQYTRNd87ck- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV4dzytk_vA
I seriously doubt that the Indian wrestling refers to the leg wrestling version. Can you imagine the hue and cry that would have gone up if Charles Schultz even SUGGESTED such a thing between a boy and a girl in his strip? Itâs the arm-wrestling version, folks. Please stop trying to disinform people.

This is Peppermint Pattyâs first appearance? I wouldnât take that bet, Roy. She does get carried away by her enthusiasm.

Why canât Peppermint Patty write to her own acquaintances?
Joseph Houk over 11 years ago
Wow. Iâd forgotten that Charlie Brown met her through Roy.

I was never a P.P. fan. Given a choice between her and Lucy, Iâd take Lucy.

The debut of Peppermint Patty in Peanuts (August 1966).

Swinging back then meant more than just being on a swing. She can swing a mean bat though. lol
Dave M over 11 years ago
Wow. That escalated fast.

Where are you coming up with that nonsense. P.P. had a thing for C.B., but he didnât feel the same way about her.

Little did Roy know that he could get rid of Peppermint Pattyâs attentions and transfer them so easily to someone else.
OldestandWisest over 11 years ago
Yeah, they made them change the theme song to the Flintstones, now they have âa GREAT old time.â
scyphi26 over 11 years ago
Yep, this sums up Peppermint Patty nicely.
Doctor11 over 11 years ago
Hi, Peppermint Patty!
JoeyCooler777 over 11 years ago
To be honest I never cared much for P.Patty. Her tendency to not listen to others annoyed me. I only liked her when she was with Marcie.
JanLC over 11 years ago
Maybe it is regional. I, too learned it as a form of arm wrestling.
LVJeff over 11 years ago
No one seems to have mentioned that Peppermint Patty doesnât live in Charlie Brownâs (and his usual gangâs) neighborhood.

I donât remember ever seeing where Peppermint Patty first appeared. Sheâs just always been there.

Well that took on an unfortunate connotation in the intervening years.

I know. I take nothing on these boards too seriously.

âAs the years went by, P. P. showed a smidgen of ditziness.â
And she shares Charlie Brownâs problems with taking tests, but at least she doesnât feel guilty about it.
shekhdar_home over 11 years ago
In 1971? Who was this âPattyâ then? :-)http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1951/04/18(And that too in a love triangle!)

And now, Charlie Brown has a girl who likes him. Heâs in trouble.

I like ALL the Peanuts characters. Each of them is unique in his/her own right.
