What an adorable-sounding child. Wow, who's probably about 50 now!

Wow, commercials were really long in the '50s.

I remember Mark Hubley as a cute little kid when he went to Stern's Summer Camp in New York around 1960. I was a counselor there and Hampton, Mark's younger brother, was in my bunk.

John Hubley animated this ad for the quick hot cereal "Maypo." It was a terrifically successful ad campaign - so much so that when the ad agency asked for more Hubley was terribly conflicted: he had sold his son Mark as a character and would have to procure the tyke's voice for more ads as required by the agency. Welcome to Corporate America vs. the Creative Artist (btw, I insisted my mom buy Maypo because of the commercial - but when I got finally got it, it tasted like sh*t).

@TaTgurl1003

Yep! :) I saw it in the grocery store a few months ago, and you can order it on Amazon.

@xoxmagoo55 - ah yes, the good old days when Kelloggs and General Mills could call a cereal "Sugar such-and-such", and nobody batted an eye...
