n.“stupid person,” 1967, originally U.S. student slang, perhaps from earlier meaning “penis” (1964), itself probably an alteration of dick. Related: Dorky; dorkiness.
Marcie has been one of my favorite Peanuts characters over the years; she provides a nice counterpoint to Peppermint Patty’s personality. BTW, was Marcie’s last name ever mentioned in the strip?
PP is obviously an extrovert, and Marcie may be an introvert, which explains why she called PP Sir. Very uncertain of herself, but not necessarily a “Dork”.

But is she Marcie here or is this her pre-Marcie character who had another name. Clara maybe? I forget.

Just got done watching Race fro You Life, Charlie Brown. Have watched it in years and found myself yelling at the girls. Some “democracy” they had.

Is Marcie the last major character Schulz added to the Peanuts gang?
