I always liked that joke, especially since Peppermint Patty hates it. I wonder if they'll ever reveal the origin of that outside of the strips. Many people I know of have no idea why she calls her "sir" since they didn't read the strips much and only watched the movies or specials that feature them.

I always enjoy the reactions I get when I tell them why Marcie calls Peppermint Patty "sir" and that it's not a shipping reason.

Marcie was brought into the strip after Peppermint Patty, but she was also younger than her and nameless. Peppermint Patty was working at a summer camp place and she was in charge of Marcie's group. They called her "sir", like soldiers to a captain. Schultz turned the character into Marcie, aged up a bit, and kept the "sir" gag, especially since Peppermint Patty does have a family with military background.

Poor Charlie Brown getting staired at by an angry cast and then getting laughed at. Sorry but am I the only one that HATED when Charlie Brown gets mistreated when I was younger? It was always a pet peeve of mine. I related to him the most.

I've always wondered this myself. I always wondered why the other characters treated him so poorly. In the early early strips, his character did kind of come across as a know-it-all, sort of like how Dennis in the early Dennis the Menace strips was literally an annoying bad kid, as opposed to later on where most of the trouble he caused or the annoyances he caused Mr. Wilson was out of curiosity and his curiosity getting the better of him.

One character in particular bugs me with the Charlie Brown abuse, and that's Lucy, but only because of how her character started in the strip.

She was a baby (along with Schroeder). Charlie Brown was very nice to Lucy. He would even make her sandwiches if asked (when the character was aged slightly, along with Schroeder, to bring in a baby Linus). Getting down to it, Schroeder isn't the best in the world to Charlie Brown either at times. If it hadn't have been for Charlie Brown, Schroeder wouldn't have gotten into piano in the first place.

Meh, seems the only characters consistently nice or decent to Charlie Brown have been:

Linus

Peppermint Patty: She does have a crush on him and seems she only gets cross with him when he misses the obvious.

Marcie: She has a crush on him too and openly admitted it in the strip and one of the specials adapted from it. She even admitted she wouldn't mind marrying him someday, iirc.

Franklin

Pig Pen

I would say Shermy...but he was kind of rude to Charlie Brown in the very first strip.

I can't think of any other characters right off who haven't been rude to him. Maybe Sally, but it depends on her mood and they are siblings, so maybe she doesn't count here.

That aside, still interesting how the characters have evolved over the years. Charlie Brown started off as 3 in the strip (Patty, Violet, and Shermy older than him). He was aged up slightly, then Lucy and Schroeder were brought in. Lucy has her infamous crush on Schroeder, he gets interested in Beethoven and piano. Lucy also starts doing the football thing (which was originally Violet's doing, but that role was shifted and given to Lucy later on). Those two were aged up, then a nameless Linus was brought in. Sally was brought in later, which I always found interesting.

The Linus x Sally notion was originally from Linus' side, not Sally's. He was actually figuring out the age difference between them and was wondering if Sally would like him when they're both adults. lol Too cute!

Okay, I'll shut up now. I'm letting my Linus x Sally bias show. lol
