(i.e. Tony the Tiger, Captain Crunch&#8230; etc).\u00a0 The storytelling is really well done, the art gets better with every page, and it&#8217;s a decent page-turner.\u00a0 I&#8217;m surprised every time a new major cereal icon\u00a0shows up because I&#8217;m thinking, &#8220;Surely by now they&#8217;ve tapped out all the major cereal characters&#8221;.\u00a0 But sure enough, a new one will turn up and I&#8217;ll slap my forehead thinking, &#8220;How on Earth did I forget about that character.&#8221;\u00a0 I feel this series is\u00a0vaguely reminiscent (with the tongue firmly planted in the
