*Why does Marcie call Patty sir?

Peppermint Patty's closest friend, Marcie, calls her "Sir". It is never revealed whether this eccentric habit, dating to Marcie's first appearance in the strip in 1971, is the result of misguided manners, poor eyesight, a snarky reference to Patty's tomboyish ways, or some other reason.

a trip takes us. "

What a long, strange
trip it's been!
From Teddy bears
to white noise machines.
From Robby the Robot
to SIRI and OK GOOGLE.

What's around
the next corner?
Let's see it 
T O G E T H E R!

Life is just
getting interesting.
[The first 50 or so
years are just practice]
