Postcard: Spaghetti man

This postcard came back from Portland, Oregon (Multnomah Co. Library).  The artist didn't date it and the finder's had it for a while.  When I saw it, I immediately thought it was Anna's work, but she doesn't recognize it and doesn't think it's likely that she drew it (something about her skills not being up to those nice, even noodles the last time she saw Portland).  She thought it might be her brother Braden's work...but honestly, the lettering is 100% her, and I don't think any cards made by Braden ended up in Portland.  (Has Braden even ever made cards with us? I don't remember...)





The finder writes:
i can't remember what book i found you in.  You were discovered in Multnomah County's Central Library.  i've been working there forever.  i found you years ago and forgot to mail you away until now.  please forgive me!
Safe travels,
Shantelle

Not sure I got that name right, as the PO ran its coding over it.  But thanks so much for sending the card back so we could puzzle over which of us created such a quirky mess of spaghetti!
