In July of 1971, both Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty headed off to gender-divided summer camps (along with a certain World War I flying ace). Serving as the voice of reason to offset Peppermint Patty's chaotic behavior in class was Marcie, whom Peppermint Patty met in summer camp during the summer of 1971.or was it the summer of 1968? Despite having a good head on her shoulders, she was a little clueless at times as well, believing Snoopy to be a "funny-looking kid with a big nose." Eventually, Peppermint Patty mellowed a bit and her ignorance (or just plain not caring) about the world at large overshadowed her attitude as the years went by, with the humor in her character now coming from her struggles at school, be it her tendency to nod off in class or her difficulties with schoolwork in general. When she first entered the Peanuts universe in 1966, Peppermint Patty was clearly a product of the '60s feminist movement- a baseball-playing tomboy who wasn't afraid to speak her mind, and whose brash attiude was certainly different than that of Charlie Brown and his friends, the humor coming from her interactions with them. A character whom Schulz often said could carry a comic strip of her own, Peppermint Patty made an interesting transition as the strip progressed regarding her personality- which in part was due to the fact that she had someone else to work off of. One of the more memorable characters in Peanuts who wasn't part of the original cast got her name from a dish of candy. And for one character, summer camp led to meeting someone who would later become a close friend and the straight woman in a comedy duo.but the real question is, when exactly did that happen? For many years one or two of the characters or even the whole gang headed off to camp during the summer, often leading to a number of memorable storylines. And for many kids, summer means time to go to summer camp. Fall brings with it football season and Halloween, the perfect time to practice your place kicks or wait for the Great Pumpkin.
Winter is a time to play in the snow and get together to celebrate Christmas (or Beethoven's birthday). And in the Peanuts universe, this is no exception.
Every season has its traditions, some common and some not.
