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 think that maybe he should alter the characters once folks began making jokes?

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

They are just friends, and were always meant to be.
A creator can’t be responsible for what dirty minded people think of his work. The characters were his, and he had no reason to alter 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 smart and clueless, a humorous combination. Patty generally objects to being 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 reflect any hints of something outside of nine-year-old-kidisms is probably taking things too fa
Peanuts’ Most Fascinating Relationship Has Always Been Between Peppermint Patty and Marcie
In The Peanuts Movie, Charlie Brown finally makes progress in winning the affections of his unattainable crush, the Little Red-Haired Girl. On one hand, it’s heart-warming and well-earned, but on the other, it feels philosophically out of place. The world of Peanuts has always been a bountiful, goofy garden of unrequited love, and not just for Charlie Brown: Lucy pines after the unreceptive Schroeder; Sally dotes on her uninterested “Sweet Babboo,” Linus, who at one point develops a schoolboy crush on his educator, Miss Othmar. But all these relationships pale in comparison to the pairing with the greatest depth of feeling, the most intriguing mystery, and the snappiest lines: Peppermint Patty and Marcie, who are either both in adore with Charlie Brown, or actually in love with each other, depending on whom you ask.
In Charles Schulz’ original comic strips, both Peppermint Patty and Marcie have unrequited crushes on Charlie Brown. Peppermint Patty usually tries to conceal her affection—although Marcie quickly figures it out, perhaps even before Peppermint Patty herself is willing to
What do you think happened to the Peanuts gang when they finally grew up?
* After a harrowing month-long, seedy motel tryst with Aileen Wuornos, Marcy found religion and married a closeted pastor. No kids, 4 Bichon Frises.
* Linus is a self-proclaimed playwright, but has never actually finished one. He starts gofundmes for projects that never materialize. He gave a stranger a blowjob behind a Hooters dumpster once, but he definitely (according to him) is hetero.
* Charlie Brown is a head-to-toe tattooed, full-blown nihilist who fronts a hardcore White-power band called "Ditch" in Idaho. He has 27 piercings.
* Lucy is married to a meek, but prosperous attorney and is running for School Board. She drinks boxed white wine until she passes out in front of the TV most every bedtime. She's a bloated mess, and both her daughters (Olivia, age 13 and Ava age 8) hold come out as nonbinary.
*Sally ran away from place and joined a sex cult in Arizona at age 17. She gave birth to an armless son named Buster who can wash dishes with his feet at the diner where they both work.
* Peppermint Patty is a WNBA Referee who is married to Junior College Volleyball coach named Kathy. They are both o

Peppermint Patty is not queer. And neither is Marcie. This is one of those "pop culture" things that will not pass away 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 hold all of these things at face value and label her lesbian because of them is to deny her her individuality for one ascribed to her, and to loot her of her nuance.
She's being raised by her father without her mother. Her psychology makes flawless sense that she would associate hers
