Housewife Herman (Mighty Mouse Playhouse) - Post Sugar Crisp Cereal mask (1957) - backside

This mask features Housewife Herman, a character from the Mighty Mouse Playhouse era, issued by Post Sugar Crisp cereal in 1957. Part of a short-lived six-character mask promotion, these designs were printed on the back of cereal boxes for children to cut out and wear—making complete, uncut examples remarkably scarce today.

The design captures a cheerful, apron-ready pig character in bright mid-century cartoon style, reflecting both the humor and advertising creativity of the 1950s. As with others in the Sugar Crisp set, most were quickly cut out and discarded, leaving only a handful of intact survivors in the collector’s market.
