December 1955







"He sees you when you're sleeping,
'cause he'll ALWAYS be awake!"




We can't finish up Christmas without one 
dose of Walt Kelly insanity!  

It can also be used to trim
the crust off your bread!

I must be too hip for the room....

They could re-release this one and make it into some sort of political statement.

Clearly, over-hyped character marketing tie-ins are not a recent development.  At least there wasn't a Davy Crockett Bed ... with scenes of Davy in action on the mattress.

"Chicken in the South" just so they'd only have to
change two letters on their signage...



Buffalo Bee: one of the lost cereal mascots.
