Nope. Fritz started brewing Pil in 1926 and Schulz started his comic
strip in 1950.

Pil's whimsical label also featured a tipi, a stage coach and a car
(a model A Ford perhaps).

      Title: Bunny Biscuits
 Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Holiday, kids, British
      Yield: 24 Servings
 
     75 g  Butter
     75 g  Caster sugar
      1    Egg
      1    Orange's grated rind
    225 g  Self-raising flour
  2 1/2 ml Ground mixed spice
     50 g  Currants
     40 ml Milk
     50 g  Cadbury's Bournville
           -chocolate
      1 lg Pack Cadbury's milk
           -chocolate Buttons
           ALSO YOU WILL REQUIRE:
           Rabbit-shaped biscuit cuter
      2    Baking trays; greased
           Paint brush
 
  Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and soft, then beat
  in the egg and orange rind. Sift in the flour and mixed spice,
  then mix in the currants. Mix well to make a pliable dough, knead
  quickly then roll out on a lightly floured surface to just under
  1cm (1/4 inch) thick. Cut out shapes with the cutter, rolling the
  dough trimmings again in between. Arrange the biscuits on the
  prepared trays and bake carefully in a moderate oven (180 C /
  350 F / Gas Mark 4) for 10 minutes only.
  
  Brush the biscuits with milk, then return them to the oven for a
  further 10 minutes until crisp and nicely coloured. Be careful
  that the edges are not too brown. Lift off and cool.
  
  Melt the chocolate in a small bowl. With the paint brush, brush
  all the ears, then the paws of the bunny biscuits with chocolate.
  Dab a little on the tails and stick on a Button.
  
  Cook's tip: To get a particularly shiny, golden finish, add an egg
  yolk to the milk when brushing over the biscuits.
  
  NOTES : Making these novelty biscuits will be a fun Easter holiday
  activity for the younger members of the family. Makes about 24.
 
MMMMM


Cheers

Jim
