What is it about this strip that has pushy females hitting on guys who aren’t interested? Peppermint Patty and Marcie both hit on Charlie Brown, Sally hits on Linus and Lucy hits on Schroeder.
You don’t see any guys in this strip hitting on the girls. Of course not. That would be creepy. But when a woman does it to a man, it’s all right.
