Merry Mouse "A Friend in Need!"

A single-issue comic from 1961, "A Friend in Need!" is a promotional giveaway from Weeties cereal, starring their mascot Merry Mouse. Published as a standalone comic rather than an ongoing series, it represents a classic example of mid-century advertising tie-ins, where cereal companies used original comic stories to reach young readers. While brief, it captures a specific era of branded promotional comics.
