Previously we had run pictures of Lou Jacobs, Paul Jung and Charlie Bell on boxes of Sugar Smacks in the early half of the 1950s. The advertising campaign extended to the clowns' likenesses being featured in commercials done by George Reeves, run during the Kellogg's sponsored The Adventures of Superman.Which begs the question, why wasn't Felix Adler (Ringling's undisputed ace "picture clown") included in the campaign? Probably because Felix had been featured on boxes of Wheaties (and to the best of my knowledge the ONLY clown ever to be so honored) a few years earlier.
