Kellogg's 75th Anniversary Fun Book was a coloring and activity book produced in 1980, featuring all of the cereal mascots they had at the time. Since some of these are now considered obscure, let me tell you who these folks are...
The porcupine is Poppy, who supported Corn Pops, taking up the slack after Big Yella rode into the sunset earlier that year.
You all know Tony The Tiger, who thinks that Frosted Flakes are grrr-eat! He has gotten a bit more attractive over the years. FYI, if Tony sounds like he could sing "You're A Mean One, Mister Grinch", it's because he did... Thurl Ravenscroft was the voice of both.
You should also recognise Snap, Crackle, and Pop, who have been shilling Rice Crispies since 1941 and is one of the longest running cereal mascot campaigns in history.
The elephant is Tusk and he advertised Cocoa Krispies. His life is kind of convoluted because he's still used in Mexico, where his name was changed to Melvin and the cereal name is now Choco Krispis -- meanwhile in the States, Tusk the elephant was replaced by Coco the monkey, and then the name was changed to Coco Pops. If Tusk sounds like he's from your favorite Disney cartoon, that's because he was... he was voiced by Paul Winchell.
One of my favorites is Dig 'Em the frog from Sugar Smacks, now known as Honey Smacks. He was an improvement over Smaxie the seal. [Aside: anyone else here remember when Post's Super Golden Crisp was called Sugar Crisp? Sugar Bear got to keep his name!]
The pencil-drawing kids were from Apple Jacks, and I'm not sure if they had names or were ever animated. Here's an ad or two on YouTube where you see them pictured.
You should all know Toucan Sam and his love of the fruit flavors of Froot Loops. He had been voiced by Mel Blanc earlier (thus him sounding like Bugs Bunny) and then when this book came out it was the more sauve sound of his Mel's friend Paul Frees (thus him sounding like the narrator from Bullwinkle).
And finally, Tony the Tiger had a son -- yeah, we don't know who the mama is but he got custody -- Tony Junior, who roared for Frosted Rice. I guess sugar runs in that family's veins like diabetes. He died tragically from a diffferent kind of 'sugar'.
