You can tell I tried really, really hard to write that name legibly in the dialog balloon. Â In my handwriting, it’s only a kerning misstep away from looking like “Picard Poops.”
Yeah, there’s a starfleet logo intersecting with the name of the cereal. I went in to clean it up before realizing, nope, it’s impossible, and gave up.
No, but the addition of a character accepted as being hot by a sizeable portion of the population does make ‘Picard Poofs’ that much more suggestive than mere loops might be.
I was going to point out that once Wesley was promoted to the rank of Ensign by Picard he became a red-shirt, so red Wesleys are not necessarily incorrect.
Not gonna lie, if that were a real cereal I’d buy the hell out of it.
The question is… If it was named Picard Poofs, would Howard still eat them? Not actual… Just the name.
To be fair, Picard does, in fact, poop.
Riker is sick to hell of being told “Number One, I need to make Number Two.”
They have mini-transporter systems installed in their bladders and bowels, so they never have to go to washrooms directly.
Not sure if that’s canon. I’ve never seen it happen!
AFAICT, Enterprise doesn’t even have toilets.
There are two heads on the bridge in the “official” layout I saw back in the ’90s. Plus another one off the conference room.
For a crew of 6,000.
Do companies still make tie-in cereals? I don’t think I’ve seen one in years.
Ah! Kirk Kix are far superior!
Don’t forget Sisko-Smax!
Pfft. Everyone knows Sugar Siskos are the best.
Better than when they tried Crisco Siskos…
Howard really likes Janeway Jacks, but he pretends he doesn’t lest all of the other Trekkies shun him.
They’re still not as unpopular as Apple Archers.
Good to know you worked so hard on the dialogue balloons, because the actual box looks more like it says “Picard Holes”…

A “Picard Poop” would look a little something like this…
What the !*#% did I just watch?
I take it ‘poof’ really wasn’t ever in your dialect as an offensive term for ‘gay’, then, because that would be some very odd cereal otherwise.
“Fruit” is an offensive term for “gay”, too, but that doesn’t make Froot Loops homophobic.
No, but the addition of a character accepted as being hot by a sizeable portion of the population does make ‘Picard Poofs’ that much more suggestive than mere loops might be.
Lots of people in the USA are unaware of poofs meaning in Britain. I only know of it myself because a british game kept filtering me when I typed it.
You can tell Willis wasn’t a Star Trek fan, otherwise it would be “47 essential vitamins”.
Also it’d be Rainbow Wesleys.
I was going to point out that once Wesley was promoted to the rank of Ensign by Picard he became a red-shirt, so red Wesleys are not necessarily incorrect.
47 is merely 42 corrected for inflation.
OK, so we know what the mysterious blue box is. Now why was it in the refrigerator?
It wasn’t he already had it in his hand while he was getting the milk.
Gotta be honest, it kinda looks like it DOES say “Picard Poops” in the last panel.
