Are Patty and Marcie a couple? They were in my head, but that could be some lesbian fetishism from my toxic masculinity...
I don’t think there have been any official incarnations where they’re together, however it is a popular ship in fan-made content, so it’s not just you.
There aren’t any real romantic relationships in the series, apart from some of the characters having crushes on each other. (Sally on Linus, Charlie on an unnamed red haired girl, etc.)
IIRC Patty was always played as a tomboy who had a crush on Charlie Brown. Marcie was just this meek girl who followed Patty around as she was socially awkward and didn't know how to connect with others and Patty was just very open and nonjudgmental.
I always felt Marcie's use of "Sir!" for Patty was an acceptance and respect for Patty's tomboy-ness, which is why I ship.
But, yeah, after seeing the replies and checking the Wikipedia article, I think I do remember some scenarios that made Patty's attraction to "Chuck" coupled with his obliviousness the punchline.
No, not canonically at least and would've been very taboo in the 50's anyway. The original comics didn't really cover relationships between any of the characters outside of Sally's crush on Linus, Lucy's crush on Schroedinger, and Charlie's crush on The Little Red-Haired Girl. I can just about guarantee though that there is fanfic out there somewhere shipping the two of them.
