Beech-Nut Cereal illustrations by Gyo Fujikawa

ETA July 2012: The artwork in these ads is by Gyo Fujikawa, not Richard Scarry.

If you don't know Richard Scarry and his amazing illustrations, ACQUAINT   THYSELF   FORTHWITH. *that last one is Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm :D 

The Beech-Nut company produced a line of young children's cereals with illustrations on them that many seem to think are his.  I know THESE 2001 products by New Organics used his characters, but for the images below, I'll just go with "They're Cute."

Richard Scarry books, ftw! Suddenly, I want to read some of them again. :D

These are cute ads, too.
