Six ways to ruin perfectly good cereal

Cereal and fruit: a combination we can all get behind.

Or so you'd think. Unlike the bunny salad in the previous post, which horrifies by its soon-to-be-eaten cuteness, these creations (would they be composed cereals?) are, for the most part, just plain creepy.
The Little Man Who Wasn't There (oddly, subject of a song from a play about a psychotic co-ed) looks like a mushroom (on a good morning I guess he'd look like a banana in a sombrero). The Man in the Moon isn't going to work, forget it, you're not going to get that level of definition on top of Cheerios. Winken, Blinken, and Nod is just confusing, and Fatso is patently offensive. Nothing compared to Old Black Joe, though. Wow.



Sadly, they actually look a little better in the drawings than they do in real life. I note the significant absence of Old Black Joe in the photo. Also notice how much less artificial color they put in cereal in those days.It's kind of hard to tell the Trix from the Kix.

The pear/Pig in a Poke is resting on Sugar Jets, in case you are wondering. I couldn't tell what they were at first. And the dish in the middle is Wheaties with strawberries mixed with softened ice cream. For breakfast.
