Sadly, the 44th anniversary of her untimely death is four days away. And the reason I can’t forget the date is that it occurred on my mom’s 48th birthday.
All you guys obsessing over Mama Cass and legs are missing something important: she just described Charlie Brown as a “pretty neat boy”. That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about him.
I didn’t know Peppermint Patty was a tent monitor. That’s why Marcie is calling her “Sir.” She’s an authority figure, and Marcie doesn’t know to distinguish between male and female authority figures.

Does anyone know who Mama Cass was now a days? (Without the internet)

Is “Mama Cass legs” retaliation for “Sir”?

It makes no sense because Cass Elliot was huge. But she had a beautiful voice.

PP seems to have an unhealthy interest in lower appendages!

Good grief this is the second time she mentioned a famous dancer/ice-skater and it doesn’t really make that much sense in context but it sure is funny

Groovy, fab, far-out. Patty, you’re so like 1970s.

Scampering with Mama Cass legs will probably require knee replacement surgery, I’m just California Dreamin.

I thought Patty had Peggy Flemming legs.

What kind of language does Peppermint Patty use?, because I get her words as good as Marcie.

If they have Mama Cass legs, I don’t think they’ll meet many boys.

I’m surprised they didn’t run this strip on Monday Monday.

Those are some weird leg terms.

I’m a long time Peanuts fan, but I don’t get this running gag of Peppermint Patty making celebrity references about legs.

For those who thought the “Sir” indicated some gender confusion previously, we see today that she really does know there are no boys in camp.

I know about her thanks to The New Scooby Doo Movies.

What a contrast between Mama Cass and Michelle. Michelle was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.

Next, she’ll have Betty Davis eyes. Except no can see them to tell if she does or not.

Maybe they better stick to “California Dreamin’.” Lol

I remember “Ruby Keeler legs,” but I think that reference came sometime later.

She was a Mama! There was another Mama and then there were the Papas.
