What could be more fun than a barrel full of Sea Monkeys?
An entire comic book anthology filled with comics and cartoons devoted to those iconic creatures which have been burned into our collective pop-culture consciousness by that ever-enterprising marketing master, Harold von Braunhut!
Mr. Harold von Braunhut is the man behind the marketing of Sea Monkeys, as well as many other comic book advertisement favorites like X-Ray glasses, "invisible goldfish" and Amazing Hair-Raising Monsters, in which a user adds water to a card and watches hair grow on the previously bald pate of the monster depicted.
So, who was von Braunhut and how did he go about filling children's heads with dreams of being lord and master over a miniature colony of aquatic simians?
