In the Norwegian translation, Peppermint Patty thinks she looks like Pippi Longstocking rather than Babe Ruth. Having seen pictures of Babe Ruth, I think the former makes more sense.
I remember reading a semi-biography or retrospective of Charles Schulz’s work. I vaguely recall that he might’ve been friends with Peggy Fleming and would put her name in the strip when he wanted to try arranging a get together to catch up. I might be confusing her name for some other athlete though. Anyway, this will end badly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I don’t find professional models to be particularly more beautiful than other women. I guess my eyes look differently than other men’s.
My daughter goes to get her hair cut at my husband’s barber. The barber is a woman and an old friend from church; so, since our girl doesn’t want anything elaborate (short but feminine) it’s perfect.
Patty just need confident, 1st panel on nov 20 was the most feminine she’s ever looked and to be fair, she looks just fine but it’s her confidence that tells her otherwise.

Don’t go to a barber! He doesn’t know how to cut girl’s hair. My dad was a barber. Once he cut my hair. I don’t want to remember the rest…

Few are “born beautiful”, Patty. It takes hard work to cultivate and maintain “beauty” and the standards change every few decades.

The younger Ruth who was with the Red Sox or the older one who finished his career with the Braves?

I think you look nice as you are, Patty. But if you want a little extra flair, I’d use the Sally Rogers method.

I feel Peppermint Patty’s pain. Not all girls that have funky hair, are boyish looking and/or like sports are lesbian. It’s just God testing us.

Patti’s hair is not long enough for a Peggy Fleming look. Maybe a Dorothy Hamill. Or a Mark Hamill. Not related.
