Марси: «Жеміс бағы» комиксінің кейіпкері

Peanuts comic strip character

Marcie /'//m//ɑr//s//i/ is a fictional character featured in the long running syndicated daily and Sunday comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Marcie is a studious girl who is sometimes depicted as being terrible at sports. She is friends with the tomboyish, athletic Peppermint Patty, who gets annoyed at Marcie when she calls her "sir", and she has a mostly unrequited crush on the underdog Charlie Brown. Marcie has appeared outside the comic strip in numerous Peanuts television specials, cinematic films, theatrical plays, and video games.

Marcie made her first appearance in the daily strip from July 20, 1971, but her name wasn't mentioned until the strip from October 11. The character was modeled after Elise Gallaway, the roommate of Patty Swanson, Charles M. Schulz's cousin and the inspiration for the Peppermint Patty character. Schulz never gave Marcie a surname in the comic strip. However, she has been given two surnames in animated features. In the 1994 animated special You're In the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown, Marcie's surname is given as "Johnson". Marcie is spotlighted in her first special, Snoopy Presents: One of a Kind Marcie, which premiered August 18, 2023 on Apple TV+.

Marcie wears round glasses with opaque lenses and wears her dark brown (sometimes black) hair in a short bob style. She also wears an orange t shirt (colored red in the specials and The Peanuts Movie). She and Peppermint Patty were the only girls in the strip to wear a t shirt and shorts.

Marcie is best friends with Peppermint Patty, constantly addressing her as "sir" (she called her "sir" in her first line in the strip). Originally, Peppermint Patty kept telling Marcie to stop calling her that but eventually grows accustomed to it. Initially, Peppermint Patty addresses Marcie as "dorky" and, when talking to others, refers to her as "my weird friend from camp". While Peppermint Patty refers to Charlie Brown as "Chuck", Marcie usually calls him "Charles". Marcie is very intelligent and does well in school (a contrast with Peppermint Patty), but sometimes says that she is pressured by her parents' expectation of her to do well in school, and even that despite her young age, they have already chosen her college.
