WOW! Milt Caniff's Terry and the Pirates in a Jeep, advertising a "name that cereal" contest for Quaker Oates

You will recall all the Milt Caniff posts I did a couple of years ago unless you just recently started following along  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=caniff

but to me, it seems rare to find an artist of Caniff's caliber doing advertising work for cereal companies. They may have simply paid the comic strip syndicate for this one image. Damned if I know

Caniff died of cancer on April 3, 1988 and with his death also came from his last work. The last daily strip made by his assistant Richard Rockwell ended with the phrase "All Honor to his Art and Name" and the last Sunday page was a tribute (a campaign grave with a cross pen and a helmet crowned) by Bill Mauldin and signed by a plethora of authors who pay tribute to one of the most influential personalities of comic art of all time.
