Patty often grumbles, "I hate talking to you, Chuck!" whenever she tries to confide in him and he does not tell her what she wants to hear. Peppermint Patty often tries to talk to Charlie Brown about matters of the heart (often depicted with both characters sitting under a tree) and even calls him often on the phone (usually taking up the majority of the conversation), but Charlie Brown usually manages to somehow evade the issue, often by simply playing dumb. Even this strip ended in a denial of sorts-Patty brought Marcie up to the front desk of the hospital and tried to have her admitted as a patient, saying, "I think she's sicker than he is!" In one Sunday strip from 1979 (drawn as part of a storyline in which Charlie Brown was in the hospital), Peppermint Patty essentially admitted her feelings for Charlie Brown and, in the same strip, Marcie admitted loving "Chuck," so far as to affirming her willingness to marry Charlie Brown. Patty frequently denied having a crush on Charlie Brown at first, writing him off as too wishy-washy and because she "could strike him out on three straight pitches" It was still obvious to Marcie (Peppermint Patty's bespectacled female friend) that Peppermint Patty liked Charlie Brown as more than a friend, wishy-washy or not. I was nervous, but determined to see it through, and so I arrived four years ago on a summer day at the farm in South Florida which houses the headquarters and training facilities for Canines Assisting Military Operators, better known as the CAMO.

The first day I was to meet Charlie Brown, I felt like the namesake cartoon character about to try another proverbial kick of the football. Originally, Peppermint Patty played reverse Psychology she would often say, "You kind of like me, don't you, Chuck?" when it was clear that it was Peppermint Patty who had the crush on Charlie Brown, while he not only did not have a crush on her, he also did not quite know what to make of her. She frequently tries to play lovers' games with Charlie Brown, and gets frustrated or even angry when he does not take the bait he does like Peppermint Patty, but only as a friend (though their friendship is occasionally strained by her strong personality and bossiness toward him).
Peppermint Patty was a freckle-faced tomboy who had a crush on Charlie Brown. For example, in one strip he finds her pencil dropped in the hallway, notices that it has been chewed and declares, "She's human!" Presumably, this common habit makes her seem more approachable, but, typically, he is prevented from following through when Lucy snatches the pencil and returns it to the Little Red-Haired Girl with a brisk, "Hey, kid! Here's your stupid pencil!" Anything touched by her or associated with her is precious to him. He most often notices her while eating lunch outdoors, and often tries to get up the courage to speak to her, but always in vain. The "Little Red-Haired Girl" was Charlie Brown's crush, but he was always too nervous to approach her. Later, Charlie Brown found out, Peggy Jean did write to him, but sent the letter to Brownie Charles, so Sally always sent away the mailman, telling him there's no one in this house name Brownie Charles. But Charlie Brown became very discoraged when she didn't write him one letter. Peggy Jean promised she would write to Charlie Brown everyday after summer camp. Because of Charlie Brown's extreme nervousness upon meeting her, he mistakenly gave his name as "Brownie Charles," which she continued to use thereafter. Charlie Brown first met her at summer camp in 1990, and she appeared intermittently in the strip until mid-1999, a few months before the strip ended.
