385901 05: The painting “The Last Pancake Breakfast” by Chicago artist Dick Detzner features breakfast cereal cartoon characters Captain Crunch Tony the Tiger and Aunt Jemima February 22, 2001 in the Chicago Athenaeum Museum in Schaumburg, IL. The painting, a spoof of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper”, features Mrs. Butterworth as Jesus and Captain Crunch as Judas. Detzner said the painting’s goal is to increase awareness about corporate America’s role in society but it has sparked protests from local Catholics who are calling for its removal.
