You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Figure out the author, and the quote almost solves itself.

Perhaps the cartoon was overly ‘helpful’, but the pattern of the author’s name removed all doubt.

Did not invent peanut butter, though. Just to be picky.

Wow one that I could not fill in the letters fast enough. This was the easiest by far I have ever done.

Did my clue make it too easy? I ignored the clue, but, yeah it was an easy one. The second word sort of gives the rest away.
To: nikos1121
I think he answered your question using crypto-code.

When there’s a pattern like that in the attribution at the end...it’s all so easy.
Most puzzles, I start with the name, or quote source. There’s not many names in the world of quotes :)
But a LRUELR is always easy to spot.
