Peanut Free Baseball Cartoon

The other day, I asked Tiffany of Food Allergy Fun if she might consider doing a cartoon about peanut free or peanut allergy friendly baseball. I think Tiffany's cartoons are so clever and so deserving of attention! I was thrilled she said yes, and here it is! Thank you so much, Tiffany!  

Please visit Tiffany's blog, Food Allergy Fun, where she has many other excellent food allergy cartoons. She's also on Twitter -- @iknowtiffany. I think Tiffany's going to be famous someday.
