Hey I have a question for any Peanuts experts in thread that’s kinda about It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown: was Marcie originally supposed to be stupid? I remember hearing that originally the dynamic between Peppermint Patty and Marcie was supposed a older dumb kid is followed around by a little dumb kid who constantly misinterpreted her orders (because she doesn’t really have the life experience to actually follow through with them) which is why she kept fucking up boiling eggs in the Easter special, because that the script for that one was actually written pretty early, before she got her smart characterization, and it was only animated later. Thing is, when I read Marcie’s early appearances she doesn’t really seem that dumb, like yeah she’s not the genius she would be later but she’s not coming off as slow either, nor can I find any actual source for the Easter special being written before the others. Were the guys who told me all that just full of shit?
