Peppermint Patty was the man in the relationship.

Believe it or not, Patty was Schultz's attempt to create a character representing a less classically feminine girl, as girls in general were moving away from classic gender roles, and he wanted to reflect that change. She was created for a separate project, but given Peanuts occupied his time, he decided to introduce her into the strip. As for the actual question, Marcie is just weird.

Maybe Marcie was so near-sighted, she thought she was a guy?

Maybe she did it to be cute. Most people probably know that one friend that doesn't want to be called something, so everyone wants to call them that anyway.

I had always hoped that Justin Gabriel would start calling Heath Slater "sir" when they were a tag team.

Thing is, I seem to recall Marcie having a thing for Charlie Brown as well - or at least, Patty was trying to set them up.....
Damn, Charlie was doing a lot better with women than he thought he was.

I always thought she was just bookish and trying to sound intelligent and refined, but the joke was that she was just a kid and didn't really know how to do it.

Why did Marcy always call Peppermint Patty "Sir"? Just wondering. Patty bought her during a trip to Malaysia. |

Well, remember, Marcie's defining personality trait was that she was a toady, and proud of it.
I might be misremembering, but I think there was an episode where she broke ties with Peppermint Patty and clung to someone else, reflexively calling them "Sir" as well.

So as far as Marcy is concerned, Patty and Chuck's relationship is the one with the homoerotic undertones! Bert: The Gay Community?! |

You're not remembering wrong: in one cartoon Marcie kissed Charlie Brown on the cheek during a baseball game. Charlie's cap floated in midair for a minute. It's part of what makes Charlie Brown who he is: he seeks the seemingly unattainable Little Red Haired Girl (though he did eventually get a kiss from her, too, he just could barely remember it), but there are two other girls who definitely like him and he can't even recognize it. |

Three, but the third won't admit it.  |
