2026: Binky Cereal
| Binky Cereal |
 Made by: Sloublues |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
Some cereals do make sounds when you pour milk on them; perhaps the most famous among them is Rice Krispies and its derivatives. Typically, this is a popping sound. The original strip had it making the sound of an old-timey car horn; here, it yells "HEEEEY KIDS!!", the catchphrase of Binky the Clown (who, while technically debuting in the strip itself, is far more well-known for his appearances on the animated spin-off Garfield and Friends). How it managed to make such an unorthodox noise is as unexplored as in the original, but this strip at least gives a reason why: it's Binky Puffs, so it's Binky-licensed to do so.
