Before He Was Boo-Buried

We all know Boo Berry as the lovable spokesghost for General Mills' Boo Berry cereal. But since he is a ghost, I can't help but think about the fact that he's dead. Or more specifically, he is the ghost of a dead man.

This raises a very curious question: Who was the man that died to become the ghost of Boo Berry? No one would argue that he's lived a rich after-life as a corporate shill, but who was he before that? And for that matter, how did he die? Slipping on a blueberry and breaking his spine? Getting crushed by a blueberry truck? Emphysema?

This puzzle was likely to be a mystery forever... UNTIL NOW.

Using the latest in forensic technologies (My friend Mark and a pencil), Thesneeze.com is proud to present a shocking, never-before-seen image of Boo Berry as he may have looked BEFORE he died.

BooBerry is dead. LONG LIVE BOOBERRY!

Just wanted to let Steve's friend Mark know that I think he did an excellent job at rendering the live BooBerry there.

But I'm sure he already knows that he's very talented.

:O)

I'll pass your kind words along to Mark. Or, as he is better known, "Pags."

He is stupid talented. I'm still waiting for him to make me my museum-quality, rennaisance oil-painting of Frankenberry.

Mark, if you are reading this, that would make a nice stocking stuffer this year.

Dear Steven, what I was wondering is this: Can you have your friend, Mark, draw an artist's conception of the Frankenstein's guy too? I want to know if he is also wearing a hat. I think it would be pretty funny if he was wearing a german style hat. Have you ever seen Indiana Jones? He wears that hat. I think that if the Frankenberry guy wore a hat like that, then people would be a lot less likely to think that he is a monster. Although, I reeally do think that he is just misunderstood.

Coincidentally, a Chicago band called Your Little Ponies wrote a song about the demise of Boo Berry. It is available for your listening pleasure at yourlittleponies.com.

I think a much more important question that "Who was Boo Berry?" would be "What's holding that tie up?"

"Using the latest in forensic technologies (My friend Mark and a pencil)" was so F**king genius that I laughed so hard I cried. Thank god I was home alone. That would have confirmed her thoughts that I am crazy.

luckily i had the opportunity to meet booberry before he died and he told me of his hatred for blueberries. who knows maybe blueberries hated him too. maybe they got their revenge for his hatred.

Well done! I laughed until nearly unconcious!

Whatever happened to Fruit Brute? Or is he on a don't ask don't tell hiatus? Dishonorable discharge?

Loved the rendering. That's good detective work.

Hey, what about the werewolf character?
That was some kind of fruit-flavored cereal.

Am I the only one who's struck by how much Boo Berry looks like Alfred E. Newmann?

I like the format of the posts. Simple and straight to the point. I bet you'll be able to even do better. Write a lengthier write-up and show us what you are able to do. I have no doubt you might produce even much better content. I have subscribed to many blogs but this 1 is definitely a keeper!

Hey... It looks like there's a problem with the layout of the page. For some reason the text block is running into the edge. I don't know if it's just me or are others reporting the same thing? Just wanted to let you know in case you've been updating the site. Thanks!
