Om my gosh, that’s sweet. I get the distinct feeling Patty’s dad is a single parent, explaining why she’s rather tomboyish, but he’s doing a great job of raising her to be a young lady, as well.

Agreed. As a kid, I always liked Linus and Snoopy best, but rereading these as an adult, Peppermint Patty is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters.
