Patty is a fictional character featured in the long-running syndicated daily and Sunday comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz. A former major character that turned into a cameo-girl (due to her supposedly lacking the distinguishing characteristics of characters like Lucy, Linus, or Sally), she is often confused with Peppermint Patty, a different and later character from the same strip.
Patty is best known as a girl who thinks highly of herself, and because of her self-opinion, she often torments the hapless Charlie Brown. She often accompanies her best friend Violet and sometimes the abrasive Lucy.
The character has appeared in numerous Peanuts television specials, cinematic films, theatrical plays, and video games.
Patty's last name was revealed to be "Swanson" in the 2015 film The Peanuts Movie, where her full name appears 10th on the list of test scores.
An early conception of the character was created by Schulz for his comic strip Li'l Folks (which is like an embryonic stage of Peanuts). Schulz then reused the character for Peanuts, and there, he named her Patty.
The first published strip in which Patty was featured was in the very first Peanuts comic strip, on October 2, 1950. Since her first published appearance, Patty's character developed and appeared frequently until the character began to suffer a decrease in usage. She became less and less prominent until her succeeding appearances are reduced to mere cameos. Both before and after she sank into the background, Patty usually appeared either with her best friend Violet or with the rest of Charlie Brown's baseball team. Her last comic strip appearance was a rerun of a 1992 strip which was republished as the November 27, 1997, strip.
Patty made her television debut in the 1965 classic A Charlie Brown Christmas, and appeared in many of the succeeding specials and theatrical animated films, most recent of the specials is Happiness Is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown. On November 6, 2015, Patty appeared in a computer generated movie based on the strip, The Peanuts Movie, which is currently her most recent animated appearance.
