I came across this online comic book - which I may end up buying - "Breakfast of the Gods Book One: The Last Good Morning" by Brendan Douglas Jones.The concept is to create a hard-boiled noir detective & superhero comic using breakfast cereal mascots as the cast of characters. Brilliant!
As you see from the cover, the two main protagonists are Captain Crunch and Tony the Tiger. Brilliant! And the grave they're walking away from is the Honey-Nut Cheerios Bee who was brutally murdered (a fate the author knows we in cereal eating land would enjoy the most).
Other known characters and where they fit in:
* Count Chokula and the rest of the undead marshmellow cereals are the main bad guys
* Snap Crackle and Pop are other victims of Chokula
* Dig 'Em, the Sugarcrisp mascot, is a conflicted superman type
* the Trix rabbit is a private eye
It's pretty well done and I am looking forward to the later issues.
