Comic Mint, your best source for rare, kooky, and classic animation art, is pleased to offer fans of Jay Ward’s "Cap’n Crunch" TV Commercials this RARE original hand painted production cel setup and master painted background.  

Ahoy! An incredible production setup of original hand-inked and hand-painted production cels of Cap'n Crunch with (from left to right) Carlyle, Brunhilde, Dave and Alfie aboard the S.S. Guppy row boat. The cels are applied to the Master hand-painted production background. The background and cels have been trimmed to a size of 10” x 8” inches, and are in their original Jay Ward Studio mat with an opening of 7" x 9" inches. The artwork is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. An incredibly rare Cap'n Crunch Master setup! 

Captain Crunch (who closely resembles Jay Ward) debuted as spokesperson for Quaker Oats in 1963. Since then and until the early 1980s, the Jay Ward Studio produced animated television commercials featuring the jaunty little Cap'n and his young crew Alfie, Brunhilde, Carlisle, Dave, and Seadog. These commercials were often more engaging than the Saturday morning cartoons they interrupted and are beloved by Jay Ward fans to this day. Because Jay Ward TV series such as Bullwinkle were animated in Mexico and virtually all production art used to make them was destroyed, artwork from commercial productions and scene cels sold at the Dudley Do-Right Emporium in Hollywood.
