BTW, this artwork was done by Dick Sargent, the prolific Saturday Evening Post illustrator, not to be confused with the second actor to portray Darrin Stephens on the ABC’s fantasy comedy Bewitched.

I know the artist was going for cute, wholesome, excited and happy but I think the kid has a certain demonic look about him. Maybe that’s the result of Post Toasties overdose. Or maybe just me.

Perhaps his focus is a bit intense. I can’t imagine how excited he’d be to know that cereals now come with bits of dried strawberry or chocolate pieces in them.

That’s look I get before I tackle a mid rare steak. No milk required. Nice drawing.

That would so not go over today. Why is his tongue hanging out? And those eyes are crossing just a little. Different times, I guess. He is cute and obviously excited.
But what I would like to talk about (because that is why you blog – to hear what I want to talk about, yes?) is the cereal of course. Post Toasties. I LOVED Post Toasties and was so very sad when I finally figured out they were no longer a thing. Way better than corn flakes. Just way better. Made the sad discovery while blogging in fact (https://deliziousfoodblog.com/2017/03/29/what-the-blat/ ) ((Shameless self-promotion – see what I did there?)) Sorry, this is getting out of hand. I will be try to be a better and more supportive friend in future comments. 😉

Ah, yes, the blatburg sans Post Toasties. Aunt Helen would understand. I guess they really did rile folks up with their corn goodness.

That second one wasn’t funny like the first guy.
