What year did snoopy first talk?

Not until a few years after she was introduced into the strip did it become apparent that Peppermint Patty had a crush on Charlie Brown. Peppermint Patty frequently plays "lovers' games" with Charlie Brown, and gets frustrated or even angry when he doesn't take the bait. Originally, Peppermint Patty played reverse psychology; she would often say, "You kind of like me, don't you, Chuck?" when it was clear that it was Peppermint Patty who had the crush on Charlie Brown, while Charlie not only didn't have a crush on her, he also didn't quite know what to make of her. His true love was the unattainable Little Red-Haired Girl, and having a girl actually like him was unexplored territory. Patty frequently denied having a crush on Charlie Brown at first, writing him off as too "wishy-washy." She has also often dismissed Charlie as not being worth it because "I could strike him out on three straight pitches!" Yet it was still obvious to Marcie - and likely to many readers of the strip as well - that Peppermint Patty liked Charlie Brown as more than a friend, "wishy-washy" or not.
