Jon sez, "What do you get when you combine just about every breakfast cereal character you know into one magnificent being? Something that's part Cap'n Crunch, part Sugar Bear, and 14 other parts. Can you name them all?"

The creator is selling prints of this frankenmascot, too!

FREE Thing Included! (Thanks, Jon, via Submitterator!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I recently learned that Cap’n Crunch’s full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch. It’s in “The Moose that Roared”, a book about the Jay Ward animation studios.

    Just had to share.

  • beaker

    Agree with Eric. No Quisp or Quake means that this beast is not a full-blown WhichWhatWho.

  • Spoon

    Dig ‘Em (Sugar Smacks) for the spots on his face.

    Wow, that looks nothing like THIS POSTER done by Todd Slater last year-

    http://thestuff.nakatomiinc.com/2009/01/08/the-nakatomi-invitational-t-shirt-poster-club-is-here/

    And by nothing, I mean exactly.

  • Kaleberg

    What about all those great supermarket brand mascots that almost, but not to the legally actionable level, resemble those of the major brands? They should have their own composite.

  • sobriquet

    Todd Slater did this “Cereal Mutant” poster/t-shirt about a year and a half ago.

    I don’t see Doug Flutie from “Flutie Flakes.”

    Maybe put a football under the arm?

  • gwailo_joe

    I concur with #4: it really looks unhappy.

    Pondering existence as such a mixed up freak: no wonder it’s depressed!

    It also looks too wimpy (tho’ well dressed): how about Tony the Tigers head, Count Choculas fangs, float like Toucan Sam but sting like that Honey nut bee. . .maybe the fists of Frankenberry? At least a composite creature like that could take care of itself. . .

    Any chance of T-shirts?

  • Anonymous

    that hat belongs to “Pop” of Snap, Crackle and Pop/Rice Crispies. The face looks like Wendell, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Baker. The Spatted feet are Count Chocula.

    whoever it is, it looks so sad.

    • benher

      I know! What’s the deal with that? Usually these characters look so high on their sugar addiction you wouldn’t expect them to come down for weeks…

  • Felton / Moderator

    Just looking at this is giving me a sugar rush.
