What does a WInkerbean taste like?

I'd forgotten about this breakfast cereal until I stumbled across this ad in an '80s Chicago Tribune Sunday comics section I'd saved.  I think I actually bought a box or two of this stuff.  I don't recall what it tasted like, but I do remember liking the idea of the box covered in comic strips!

Sgt. Snorkel in Slumberland?

Mort Walker spoofs a variety of strips as Sgt. Snorkel follows in Little Orphan Annie, Little Annie Rooney and Little Nemo's footsteps....

Batmania!

The countdown to the Aug. 7th Big Funny gallery show continues with more mid '60s vintage comics.  This time we see the influence of "Batmania," as the Batmobile shows up in The Family Circus and Mort Walker spoofs Batman in Beetle Bailey.
