Thanks for your excellent site - it's my daily break from the office noise.

ps: these boxes make me think of the Wacky Packages version: "Awful Bits"

At July 03, 2006, bgrauman said...: "Loveable Truly", in case many of you didn't know, also appeared as a continuing character in his own right on "LINUS THE LIONHEARTED" (1964-'66, '67-'69 repeats) while plastered on the "Alpha-Bits" boxes of the time....and why not? General Foods [Post cereals] sponsored the show, and made sure their cereal characters had a weekly showcase!
