Now something JUST occurred to me—I wonder, if Peppermint Patty REALLY DID steal the box of gold stars, and threw them away, as if out of bitterness, over never getting one? I mean, we never find out WHO had STOLEN them, merely what had HAPPENED to them, that they accidentally got thrown away. But, WHO DID IT, I wonder? Could HAVE been PP; after all, she did take never being eligible to get a gold star, QUITE HARD.

My all-time favourite Peanuts-comic-strip (#2 is 1952/03/09 and #3 is 1954/12/19) If you’ve come to this page at random, the storyline starts at 1977/11/28. A nice little storyline featuring D-Minus-Patty addicted to the gold stars of the teacher so desperate knowing she will never get one that she even offers the teacher to lick some for her, her only chance to get closer to them. Then the box containing the stars vanishes. The plot thickens: Neither Patty, CB nor the reader know whether the teacher has just asked or is suspecting Patty.Enter imaginative and clever Tomboy-Patty: She has a secret plan to solve the case. Again we encounter some Peanuts peculiarities: Don’t the teacher and Marcie notice that a dog with a whig is sitting in Patty’s place ? Doesn’t the teacher wonder why the new custodian Hans Hansen is so small ? After everything is settled Schulz delivers a club reserved nearly only for CB or Patty in the Peanuts universe: Snoopy’s golden star, an achievement so long desired by her. WHAM
