Miss Peach

Miss Peach was a syndicated comic strip created by American cartoonist Mell Lazarus.

The drawing was stylized: the children had tiny bodies and large heads with flounder faces (both eyes on the same side of the nose).

"[3] Although he did not win the United Features contest, Miss Peach was launched in the New York Herald Tribune and eventually was published internationally in 300 newspapers.

In 1964, Lazarus commented, "The characters in Miss Peach are not actually modeled on real persons, with the possible exception of Lester, the skinny kid in the strip.

"[4] Comics historian Don Markstein observed: The November 29, 1963, episode was pulled from syndication because one of the characters fantasized about saving the President of the United States' life—one week after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
