Thank you. This is a very sad week for me when I really need a reason to just smile and hope.
The top two cartoons were the first two. I remember those days when I begged my Mom for a certain cereal because I contained a toy I wanted or had a 45 RPM Record imbedded in the cardboard box. I collected a few records from The Archies (remember “Sugar, Sugar”) this way.
Quite a group of cartoons here surrounding the ‘most important meal of the day’. With number 6 down (from ’58) it could easily be updated with all of them on their phones. I love # 3 down (by Hunt) where Mrs, is using ‘disagreeable’ instead of ‘nice’. Poor Dad in the top ‘toon from ’62 has a rude awakening thanks to a well meaning, but naïve daughter.
Still, is that the worst that can happen to poor Dad before work, or having a jet plane come flying out of the corn flakes box to hit him on the top of his head? A toss up that makes me toss my cookies.
