60 Years of Peeps

Charles says:

I don’t know for sure who designed it, but my old pal Doug Jessmer — who works there now — tells me:

Executive editor Bonita Burton tells us:

Thanks! Thomas Marcetti, Managing Editor of Design & Graphics with Designer Amy Johstono. It was Thomas who spotted the story and knew how it would resonate with our largely retiree readership who grew up with the candies.
