    Patsy's Reflections, Learn to Cook by Pictures (1946 United Kingdom) shows in comic strip format all aspects of cooking. Included are hundreds of recipes, each as a comic strip, plus plenty of general information covering all subjects relating to the kitchen, each subject also rendered in comic strip format. These strips originally appeared in the Daily Mirror Newspapers. Characters appearing in the strip include the title character, a pretty blonde housewife, her husband Peter, her dad and mum, plus friends Joan Featherpenny and Mrs. Always. From the introduction: "When Patsy got married to Peter in 1946, she hardly knew how to cook an egg, and she little dreamed that three years later hundreds of thousands of readers of the Daily Mirror would be looking forward each day to see what she would be up to in the kitchen. So with the help of Mum (to say nothing of Dad) and of her two cherry neighbors, the motherly Mrs. Always and the redoubtable Mrs. Joan Featherpenny, she sets out to teach herself how to cook...For after all, it's much easier to see a thing done than merely to read about it. You'll learn here about Patsy's other great adventure, her first baby." Published by Mirror Features, the Daily Mirror Newspapers, Ltd.196 pages, partial color (black, green, red), spiral bound, 10-in. x 8-in., heavy cardstock covers, white paper interior, priced 5'-.
