Redesigned cereal mascots as creepy, wrinkled costumed characters

Peruvian illustrator Guillermo Fajardo has taken a crack at redesigning some of the more iconic breakfast cereal mascots, uploading his excellent efforts to his Behance portfolio. There's the Trix rabbit, Tony the Tiger, Count Chocula (shown above), and Cap'n Crunch (right).

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 actually think Cap’n Crunch is an improvement over the real mascot.

Thank God he’s not old enough to remember Super Sugar Smacks. My childhood would be in tatters!

As a kid I had a National Geographic book about pirates. There was a picture of Blackbeard in it. The look on Blackbeard’s face was almost exactly the same as the look on Cap’n Crunch’s face. It’s probably just an eerie coincidence, but it’s still making me giggle.
