What a Good Wife

When my wife came home late this afternoon she gave me a present...the kind a 1960's retro-monster kid nerd would appreciate: A Brand New Box of QUISP cereal
O Yeah!

I've not seen it at any of the local grocery stores but she picked it up at Super Target. According to the wikipedia article, Quaker has been selling it mostly on-line in the last few years.

I like well enough (it's like Manna from heaven compared to Captain Crunch - - which I wouldn't feed a dying rat) but how mondo cool is QUISP (as a character)? I've always loved this hyper little guy (never cared on whit for Quake) and fondly remember his television commercials "back in the day"

This is a scan (above) from the box (still un-opened; sigh... my wife's making me eat supper first :( ) Pretty nifty eh?
(above) is the scan from the back cover of the box. I love it when a cereal company gives up the added revenue of having simply one more ad on the back and instead runs a cartoon like this to "pimp" its own character.... more like the "good old days."

Above is a picture from Quaker's own QUISP web site... now look below at Jay Ward's famous Moon Men from the BULLWINKLE AND ROCKY SHOW. Yeah, they're green and QUISP is pink.... and to be sure they don't have the top-knot spinning/flying whirly-gig thingie (and QUISP doesn't have a scrooch gun)... but I'm thinking these boys are related.

(Jay Ward is their Dad so anything's possible)

What a good wife rogue evolent has!
