Buck Brown: Granny for President

A vintage campaign button attests that Granny ran for President in 1972. The naughty character was the creation of cartoonist Buck Brown and she first appeared in Playboy in 1966. She proved popular and appeared regularly in the magazine's color cartoons. Her campaign slogan: "This country was built on hanky-panky." Me, I voted for Snoopy.
