The Adventures of Ragweed and Petals in the Big Apple

This Is A Heartfelt Story Of Childhood Innocence And Naivety A Story That Began Out Of Boredom One Very Wet And Rainy Afternoon In Tokyo Japan. While On A Concert Tour Of Japan With The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra In 1982 Cellist Artist And Author Peter David Snyder Happened To Walk By A Local Stationary Store On A Very Wet Morning And Noticed A Uniquely Packaged Set Of Drawing Pens. Wanting Something To Draw With Besides A Pencil He Went Inside The Store And Purchased Them. Since The Continual Rainy Weather Showed No Signs Of Letting Up The Pen Set Would Enable Him To Enjoy The Free Time In A Relaxed And Creative Manner. As He Began To Sketch Some Arbitrary Flowers He'D Seen Outside The Hotel In The Gardens Some Ideas Began To Take Shape On His Sketchpad. Gradually As He Continued Drawing He Realized That Their Look And Color Could Develop Into Something Very Special. The Idea Of A Comic Strip Featuring Two Talking Flowers Came To Mind. The Thought Of Two Flowers Talking To One Another About The Mundane Daily Activities That Usually Occurred In An Average Garden Was Interesting And Intriguing. Worms Snails All Crawling Around Them Or The Ever-Pervasive And Creeping Morning Glory Vines Would Provide Constant Banter For Them In The Beginning.
