PP and Marcie (before she was Marcie) develop their relationship. Schulz pushed the “sir” bit a little too hard, but it was one of the two greatest friendships in the strip (the other being Snoopy and Woodstock).
I was raised by a Southern-born father (b.1920) who taught all his kids, boys as well as girls, to adress adult men as “sir.” At age 16 I went to university, and continued the ingrained reflex. I was always amazed at the number of profs etc who became seriously annoyed at being addressed respectfully! This was about 1978, before the “prof is your pal” thing.

trust me, Patty, you going to be called “sir” is going to get annoying for the next 40-some years

I have forgotten that 1 time Marcie called her ma’am.

So is Patty a boy or a girl? I’m surprisingly too lazy to look it up.

At least she called you “ma’am” this time.

Peppermint Patty is being raised by her father alone. I think she was referred to as a latchkey kid.
