Sometimes you see things that spoof what kid’s cartoons were like in the past. They seem ridiculous like they could never have been on television. Well, most of the time they kinda were.
On June 17, 1915, shortly after submitting his patent application for the doll's design, Johnny Gruelle who created the doll applied for a registered trademark for the Raggedy Ann name, which he created by combining words from two of James Whitcomb Riley poems, "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphant Annie".
I love vintage illustration artwork and some of the best comes from these drawings in old children's books.
Here is a set of artwork from the Sesame Street story Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree.

The artwork in this book was illustrated by Joe Mathieu who actually did many books and drawings for Sesame Street.
The story in this book starts out with a witch in the forest who has a talking tree that grows cookies.
Of course, as you guessed from the title Cookie Monster finds the tree.
I really do dig the pencil outline style of this artwork.
And check out the drawing of the witch in the background above.
The action poses drawn in these illustrations are also what really appeals to me in this artwork.
Some of the other Sesame Street characters show up in the book drawings like The Count, Bert, Prairie, Grover, and Oscar the Grouch.
Then don't forget the backs of these vintage illustrated children's books that all of us know by heart!

This artwork is for the illustrated children's book "Anatole and the Toy Shop" from 1970.
Paul Galdone although he was also a painter and sculptor he is best known as a writer and illustrator of children's books. During his early career, Galdone worked in the art department at Doubleday where he designed a successful book jacket.
The experience led him to believe that he could make a living as a freelance illustrator. He left behind the working world of New York City when he and his wife moved to rural Rockland County, New York. Many of Galdone's works are adaptations of fairy tales and folktales.
Children's author Eve Titus created the characters of Basil of Baker Street and Anatole.
Basil, a mouse private detective in the Victorian age, was the subject of Walt Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. An animated adaptation was also made based on Anatole, a heroic and resourceful French mouse.
