Although she is a brown-haired brunette in most of the TV specials and movies, she is a blonde in The Peanuts Movie (possibly as this was her first sizable role in decades she would not share the same hair color with the other more prominent Patty) and a black-haired brunette in It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown. Over the years, she has variously been shown with blonde, red and light brown hair. Patty punching Charlie Brown in the second Peanuts comic strip from October 3, 1950. Interestingly, it was Patty who first introduced Charlie Brown to Schroeder, claiming he lived next-door to her. She plays outfield on Charlie Brown's baseball team though on an early occasion she was seen as a catcher before Schroeder was introduced. Her surname is never revealed in the comic strips. Patty's name was first mentioned on October 26, 1950, 24 days after her first appearance.
Patty is also known for asking " Pig-Pen" why he is constantly so dirty.

She then punches Charlie Brown in the face and, without missing a beat, continues, "That's what little girls are made of!"

However, since she and Shermy lacked the defining characteristics of such characters as Lucy, Linus, and Schroeder, they became less prominent as years went by.Īs the only female in the strip's earliest days, Patty was often portrayed as a sort of "mother-hen" character who looks out for the younger characters however, she would also set the tone for the strong female characters that would later appear in the Peanuts universe. Although she was not named until October 26, 1950, Patty appeared in the very first strip on October 2, 1950, along with Charlie Brown and Shermy. In the early days of the Peanuts comic strip, Patty was one of its major characters. She was named after Schulz's cousin, Patricia Swanson. The prototype version of Charlie Brown, Patty, and Snoopy all appear in the pre- Peanuts strip Li'l Folks.
