Comments
Although by default this FDC would not be related to Disney's Song of the South, Peterman took this opportunity to draw a cachet depicting Disney's Brer characters and the Tar Baby. It is therefore listed here as an "unofficial" collectible; meaning, it was not released by Disney, but is still a Song of the South collectible by nature, being a limited edition.
David Peterman produces hand-drawn cachets regularly. His web site is located at www.petermanart.com.
