Whatever happened to Sandra Boynton? Her “hippo birdie two ewes” sentiments were everywhere in the 1980s. Ballerina rhinos and singing pigs capered through greeting cards and books. She had a nicely done book on chocolate in which I remember she claimed there was no such thing as a good chocolate ice cream — she loved chocolate so much no ice cream could do the flavor justice. I’m curious about how she feels towards the grandiosely flavored gourmet chocolate ice creams of today, but I still get her point. Anyway, Boynton is still out there, writing a few books and also creating accompanying music. She’s no longer creating greeting cards, but you can catch her on calendars and buy her classic books. Perhaps it’s time to launch a big retro-Boynton fad.
