Also, I,too, have heard, that the name "Peppermint"Patty was inspired by a dish of candy, that Schulz had had sitting around his house, for some time. I guess if he was going to name this new Peanuts girl “Patty,” prefixing "Peppermint"to the name had been a good way, of distinguishing THIS Patty from the other one, who had been with the strip, virtually since it began—you know, the one who palled around with Violet(and then Frieda)who wore the bow in her hair(on the side).
