Blondie, 1/20/25

The joke here really ought to be that we all know that there are plenty of cereal varieties with marshmallows out there sold in boxes with colorful cartoon art on them, but Dagwood simply doesn't encounter them anymore, because he's an adult, plus (and this is where Blondie's carefully neutral "Oh?" comes in) he doesn't actually do the grocery shopping so he assumes that because he doesn't see them, they don't exist. But given Dagwood's appetites and predilections, I find it very hard to believe that he doesn't go to the grocery store daily, wandering the aisles in a sort of dazed mania. Anyway, I do like the box of adult cereal here, which features a picture of a boring middle aged guy with a blank facial expression eating cereal on it. You can almost hear him saying the popular catchphrase, "I am eating this cereal for breakfast, as an adult."
