Peppermint Patty

Peppermint Patty is a self-assured, sports-loving girl who first appeared in Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip before being collected in this 1967 Crest Books volume. She is a friend and occasional rival of Charlie Brown, known for her confidence and athletic enthusiasm.

Debuting in 1967's The Unsinkable Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty arrived during the Silver Age as one of Charles Schulz's most distinctive additions to the beloved Peanuts universe — a refreshingly confident, straight-talking presence in a strip already full of wonderfully complex kids. Over more than five decades of publication, she's shared the page with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, and Sally Brown, woven into the very fabric of one of comics' most enduring ensembles. Her appearances span landmark collections including The Complete Peanuts and Around the World in 45 Years, a testament to just how central she became to the Schulz canon. With a key-issue appearance to her name and nearly 50 catalog entries, she's a character any serious Peanuts collector will want to seek out.
