Krinkles the Clown
Krinkles was the mascot for Post Sugar Rice Krinkles cereal, introduced in 1956. Post launched the cereal to compete with Kellogg's Sugar Smacks. They eventually dropped Krinkles + the cereal underwent several name changes (Frosted Rice Krinkles) before the product line was discontinued in 1969. It seems the actor playing Krinkles remains a mystery to this day!

Happy Leap Day!
Celebrating with Philippe Halsmann's Jump series: The Women
“In a jump, the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. He cannot simultaneously control his expressions, his facial and his limb muscles. The mask falls. The real self becomes visible. One has only to snap it with the camera,”
