TV CARTOON PALS
Dan Goodsell's Sampler of Things blog is a daily must-see for everyone who loves classic cartoons and great retro package design. Today's post is a particular nostalgic blast for me: a 1962 Kellogg's promotion for it's Hanna Barbera sponsored TV shows. I vividly remember cutting out these "trading cards" and package-back "pin-me-ups". Around this time I also joined Hanna-Barbera's Huckleberry Hound Fan Club - and getting the package, sent to home with my name on the label, was the first mail I ever received. I can never forget that thrill. In fact I think I still have the envelope. Thanks Dan, for reviving that cherished memory.
