After Post Cereals dismissed Maisie & Jake, their original mascots for Raisin Bran, they tried out something different.
Enter the Raisin Counter.
Ah, a cartoon character for the anal-retentives in all of us. The Counter was introduced in 1960, but by 1966, there were now a group of Counters. In this 1966 spot, the Counters are being presented as a pop group, a satire of the British Invasion....
The animation here looks like it was either done by Ed Graham's studio, or the folks at Total Television (i.e. King Leonardo, Underdog, etc.). If anyone can verify this information, please drop a note in the comments box. Thanks.
