Last day of "Animated Bubblegum Week!"
Sugar Bear was the advertising cartoon mascot for Post Super Sugar Crisp cereal. He originally appeared as a character in the 1963 Saturday morning cartoon Linus the Lionhearted. Most of the characters in the series were mascots for Post cereal products. 
Sugar Bear – the shallow eyed, easy going, Dean Martin sounding character – proved the most popular of the lot. So in 1972, when fabricated cartoon bands were the craze, Post Super Sugar Crisp created their own pop group called The Sugar Bears. And the bubblegum pop music was as sugary sweet as the cereal.[DOWNLOAD] Presenting The Sugar Bears (1972)

Here's an odd Super Sugar Crisp cereal commercial that for some reason doubled as a PSA against air pollution...
And here's an episode of Sugar Bear's Saturday morning cartoon show...

Vlad just wanted to second dia's comment in thanking you for last week's post. It is a little known fact that Vlad loves animated bubblegum pop music. You posted three albums Vlad did not have in his vaults! Vlad thanks you for a wonderful blog and for sharing the bubblegum pop with everyone!
Wow! THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting the mp3's of the Sugar Bears album! This was the first album I ever owned as a child. I remember listening to it for hours. I used to trace over the cover, trying to draw the Sugar Bears characters. Over the years I had forgotten about it and after several moves eventually lost the album.
I was surprised by my own reaction when I saw the album cover again. My heart literally jumped. Listening to the first song "Happiness Train" actually brought me to tears.
Never underestimate the power of nostalgia and happy childhood memories. Without looking at the lyric sheet, I could still recite every word of those long forgotten songs. What a treasure!
