The cookbook arrived in the mail on Saturday in very good condition. I looked through it — twelve recipes — and realized that I was unlikely to ever make anything from it. Well, maybe Monkey Mush (ie., a banana pudding). The recipes are a bit limited, and I don’t usually eat Chex cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I looked through the cookbook, I paid attention to the Peanuts<\/em> artwork. And the more I looked at it, the more I wondered who had drawn the Peanuts<\/em> illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take, for instance, the illustration of Linus and Charlie Brown above.

Whoever did the artwork did a creditable job aping Schulz’s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, even though I don’t know who drew it, nor am I likely to ever make anything from it, it’s a nice piece of Peanuts<\/em> ephemera to have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somehow I’ve become the kind of person who buys vintage cookbooks.
