Fuel Your Fandom touched on sitting in front of a full schedule of favorite Saturday-morning animation awhile back, and noted that the shows themselves were only part of the experience. After all, what's sitting criss-cross applesauce in front of a cartoon without some Apple JACKS and a cartoon on the front of the box? That's because somewhere along the line, Post, General Mills and Kellogg's figured out that if there was a cute character on their containers of cocoa-frosted sugar bombs, kids would be more likely to beg their parents for bowl after bowl of the stuff at the grocery store. And thus, cereal mascots were born. In this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look at the flake-flogging powers of the Capn's, Tigers, Frogs and Toucans of yore with a milk-soaked spokescritter rundown. Plus, as always, all the biggest news from the Geek-O-Sphere.
