Have A Bowl Of Post Alpha Bits?

Here's a 1958 commercial for Post Alpha-Bits Cereal, starring Ruff and Reddy, the first characters to emerge from Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera's recently-minuted television cartoon studio.  Ruff the Cat and the evil Mr. X are voiced here by Don Messick and Reddy the Dog is voiced by Daws Butler.  General Foods sponsored The Ruff and Reddy Show on NBC on Saturday mornings from 1957 to 1960.
