So WHAT is the Deal With Peppermint Patty?

We all know the gag about her and Marcie being “an item”, but what was Schulz thinking when he created the characters? And didn’t he ever reflect that maybe he should alter the characters once folks began making jokes?

Maybe he wanted to show that girls could engage sports just like boys.

They are just friends, and were always meant to be.
A creator can’t be responsible for what messy minded people think of his work. The characters were his, and he had no reason to change them just because someone interpreted them in one particular way.

Peppermint Patty makes an awful lot of overtures toward Charlie Brown to be considered a lezzie. Marcie calls Patty “sir” because she’s both bright and clueless, a humorous combination. Patty generally objects to existence called “sir.” If she were a dykester, she might be more inclined to encourage this.

I’m pretty sure Marcie also had a crush on Charlie Brown for a while.
They’re meant to be nine year old kids. I think any hints of
'Peanuts': How Peppermint Patty was 'groundbreaking' for female athletes, a 'comfort' for LGBTQ folks
There's never been a character quite like Peppermint Patty.
When the fiercely outspoken and athletic young young woman was introduced in Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts" comics in August , she was an anomaly: She came from a single-parent house, was bad at educational facility, good at sports and didn't wear dresses. The origins of Peppermint Patty – and the rest of the Peanuts gang – are explored in a new Apple TV+ documentary, "Who Are You, Charlie Brown?" (now streaming).
"If you think about how female cartoon characters were portrayed on the comics page when Peppermint Patty came on the scene, they were usually the foils for their husbands, like 'Blondie' or 'Beetle Bailey,' " says cartoonist Paige Braddock, who serves as head creative officer at Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates. "So along comes this little female character who's gentle of a tomboy and charting her own track. That was very groundbreaking and opened the door for other (comics) creators to do more distinct female characters."
AmyThe Case For Double attraction Peppermint Patty [Pride Week]
Between the fresh television cartoon, last year's remarkable CGI movie, the unused comics put out by Kaboom and the themed strip collections put out by Fantagraphics to supplement the The Conclude Peanuts series, it's been a good period to be a fan of the work of Charles M. Schulz. But in absorbing a lot of this stuff, something leaped out at me that I can't push aside: Peppermint Patty formally recognizable as Patricia Reichardt should be bisexual.
Peppermint Patty & Marcie are one of two pairs of children's characters (the other being Bert & Ernie of Sesame Street) thought of as gay with varying degrees of seriousness. It's generally taken as peruse, just a tacit fact, and Melanie Gillman & Molly Ostertag wrote awesome stories exploring the pair in last year's Peanuts: A Tribute To Charles M. Schulz.
Besides Marcie's constantly calling Patty "Sir," there's the reality that the two are almost never seen apart. They constantly bounc

Peppermint Patty is not same-sex attracted. And neither is Marcie. This is one of those "pop culture" things that will not cease and I'm so so so tired of it. As recently as last month, Entertainment Weekly had a little sidebar in their gay pride issue about TV characters who gays identify with and one of them was Peppermint Patty. I can understand why people would relate to her, but that doesn't make her gay. I relate to Ariel, but that doesn't make me a sixteen year old girl or a mermaid, nor does it make Ariel a man.
Peppermint Patty is a tomboy, and she definitely stands out from the other girls of the Peanuts universe. Sally, Lucy, Patty (the other one that no one remembers), Violet all wear dresses. Peppermint Patty doesn't. She's athletic. And in most animated specials, she's got kind of a husky voice. But to accept all of these things at face value and label her lesbian because of them is to deny her her culture for one ascribed to her, and to steal her of her nuance.
She's being raised b
