Althouse: "He played Peppermint Patty in the production of 'You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.'"

July 21, 2005

Just tweezing a fact out of the big NYT article on Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.

Thomas Williams said...: I can't believe I'm about to make this point, but . . .

There is no Peppermint Patty in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. There's a character just named Patty, who later disappeared from the strips. Peppermint Patty was introduced in August 1966, too late to make it into the 1967 musical.

I'm sure there are people at the New York Times who know this, but they don't write about Supreme Court nominees.; 7/22/05, 7:37 AM
