The Deviances of Youth
I may have mentioned already, but of all the cereal mascots, I feel like I’d have had the most difficult relationship with Tony the Tiger. I was an anemic, emaciated nerd-type thing, and he was the 50’s dad of animated breakfast spokesmen. Oh, I’d show him my art, no question, but I doubt he’d say anything – perhaps, in the waxing days of his own life, he’d have thrown me a dumpster with his varsity bros. As an aged Tiger bound by the mores and neuroses of his generation, however, he’d probably just make a few assumptions about my sexual orientation and wonder why I was such a disappointment.

Tony the Tiger being like a 50s dad makes so much sense and yet I’ve never even thought of that. He does seem like the type that would pop his head into your room, see you’re reading the Lord of the Rings, sort of frown, and quietly suggest you go outside and play football with the other kids.

One of your awesomest strips yet. Great job!

Or at least read something worthwhile, like a book of Yogi Bera quotes, or auto part assembly instructions.
