King Leonardo 4 of 4
Thanks to Benjamin D. Brucke for alerting me to the problem I've been having for a few days. For some reason, my links didn't say ".jpg" on them, and that's why they were going to the Photobucket main page. I fixed it, though.
Here's an example of the Tooter Turtle cartoon.
On TV, Kellogg's was the sponsor for Hanna-Barbera. The Total Television cartoons had General Mills cereals in their commercials. I guess it was different for the comics.
"Thanks to Benjamin D. Brucke for alerting me to the problem I've been having for a few days."
You're welcome, Sam. I'm just glad I got the fix right -- although I seem to be having my own problems this evening putting a simple post together, sans silly errors, and submitting it to the right topic.

Much of the material here is at least a generation old and therefore sometimes has racist and sexist standards we wouldn't conform to today. I try, but can't always do a line-item veto. Remember, if something has stereotypes it's posted in spite of them and not because of them. You're not wrong to be offended, think of it like a friend you like hanging out with 95% of the time but once in a while they embarrass you. My own attitude is to move forward.
Many of the images I posted between 2011-2013 were disappeared by the image bank I was using then but I still have most of the scans and am bringing them back slowly. Be patient.
