The marketing mascots of my childhood had to grow up, too

Nazi Youth history notwithstanding, I can't see anything but Count Chocula when I look at this guy. Pope Chocula. President Boo Berry can't be far behind.

If the Cardinals are going to nominate this guy, why not go all the way to fantasy land and nominate Cardinal Fang from Monty Python?
