Marcie is Peppermint Patty's best friend. From the moment they met at summer camp, Marcie has called Peppermint Patty "Sir" out of admiration and misguided manners. An unlikely pair, they seem to have nothing in common yet that is what makes their friendship so genuine. Marcie is the smartest of the Peanuts gang, but also the most naive. She's always willing to help out her friend with school work and she's not above sharing test answers or calling her on the phone to remind her of homework assignments. There is an innocence to Marcie and Peppermint Patty is her protector.

I'm in the process of searching for new Marcie images. If any of you have better luck at finding them...please email me. I would love to add them to my collection

Meanwhile check out the ones I already have.

Every since I could remember, Marcie has always struck me as a very interesting character. I could relate to her in so many ways, as I'm sure all of you can relate to one of the Peanuts characters...whether it's Charlie Brown for always being a "blockhead", or Peppermint Patty who was the tomboy of the group or perhaps even Lucy who was the bossy one who always had advice for everyone.

Now, as years have passed, I am able to go back to those grade-school moments simply by remembering Marcie and the rest of the Peanuts Gang and how they interacted with each other. And regardless of how different every character was they were all still good friends. Through this comic strip I learned that it was alright to be different. Just as they all had their quirks, we all have them as well. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's what makes the world so interesting.

I also wanted to thank the man who brought these wonderful characters to us, Charles Schulz.

Thanks 'Sparky', you'll never be forgotten...
