This special is about Peppermint Patty (yay!) and it starts with her ice skating with Snoopy as her coach. (Some of you are surprised that P.P ice skates) Peppermint Patty is having problems staying up class because she's been getting up at 4:30AM each morning to practice Ice Skating. (That's crazy not even local news should be on at that time)

We some of her training with Snoopy at the early time in the morning . (Snoopy is not Snoppy without is morning cofee) Meanwhile , some hockey players begin to bug Peppermint Patty (and they keep calling her beautiful , which is the weirdest insult ever ) She and Snoppy take out the whole 10 hockey kids in 2 pushes. You know Snoopy is a pretty ruthless coach too. Marcie helps Peppermint Patty with her dress for the skating competition , though she was more drafted into it by Peppermint Patty.

When Marcie ,who repeatably said, that she wasn't good at sewing the dress turns out bad.
Either that or a new fashion trend/ Copyright Penaunts
Luckly , Snoopy saves the day , since he is a good tailor and dress maker (of course he is) She also wants help with her hair. She didn't like the wig Snoopy suggested so she gives that up. Now it's the day the competition Snoopy has the new job of Zamboni driver (Snoopy runs the entire U.S economy) There's also the "hey we paid to watch a special so we are going to see the whole competition set of scenes" until we get to see Peppermint Patty's turn. Something goes wrong though as her tape (aww the 80's) does what tapes do and falls apart. If she doesn't get music quick she could be disqualified. Woodstock saves the day as he whistles a tune (the sound of an angel ).

She wins (if this was Charlie Brown.. on the other hand...)
Pretty much, it's nice to have a Peppermint Patty focused episode and the music in the background is nice plus it had it's funny parts and it's interesting to see P.P doing something that's not either being conflicted about her feelings for Chuck or baseball.
wait! we have more after the Jump
This special was based off a set of comic strips in the Peanuts in 1974. There are some differences for instance there's a hair incident.

She asks Chuck ,since his Dad is a barber to arrange it for his dad to give her a haircut and apparently forgets to tell him she's a girl.
Also there's a twist where life turns against Peppermint Patty , yep she did better in the special since it the comic it was a roller skating championship.

The wig does make an appearance in the special. It kind of fits that Peppermint Patty could confuse the two things.
The dress thing matches the comic to a tee.

If you want to read the whole set of them it runs from November 4,1974 to December 7, 1974
Thanks for reading,that's our lookback tune in next time when we learn that Linus is a tango dancer, in There's a rose in my mouth ,Charlie Brown" .(If that was real oh if that was real)
