Except in “Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown,” when she tells him his hip is touching hers, she’s warning him not to get too close, lest Pierre (whom she has a crush on) gets jealous. That actually would be PERFECTLY fine with Charlie Brown ANYTIME-like he really cares about two-faced Peppermint Patty having feelings for him. We all know her constantly asking of him “You kind of like me, don’t you, Chuck?” is one of those fine examples of “reverse psychology,” she’s hoping he’ll come right out and admit it. But the truth of the matter is, PP never really does treat him with undue respect; one moment she can be as pleasant as can be towards CB, then the next(even if due to something he’s said), she verbally abuses him in the blink of an eye.

It appeared on the page of 11/1/2024, this year’s Peanuts desk calendar(which was yesterday.) As I always say, there seems to be this “50 year pattern” with the Peanuts desk calendars-containing the daily strips from 50 years ago accordingly.(They skip the Sunday strips for obvious reasons.)

Not to mention homecoming football games and dances, as seen in “It’s Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown,” depicting them as if they’re in HIGH SCHOOL, at that.
