"Tsk" is one of those weird things used to represent something that we have no letters for in English--although it is also pronounced as if spelled "tisk".

"Tsk" is also slang for the debris that hangs around at the bottom of the Triscuit™ box after all of the actual crackers have been consumed.
At least, it is now. I just decided.

The Cocoa Krispies commercials in the '70s featured Tusk the Elephant. When people would say "tsk, tsk", he would correct them and say "Tusk, Tusk".

James Sturm's comic The Cereal Killings is a dystopian funny animal saga that shows characters like Tusk and Sonny the Cuckoo (under other names, of course) coming to various forms of grief as adults. Kind of like what happens to so many real-life child stars.

The '60s cartoon Linus the Lion-Hearted was a series about the characters who were then the mascots of various brands of Post cereals. Despite this, it was an imaginatively written and very witty series. Voice talent included Ruth Buzzi and Jonathan Winters. Sugar Bear is the only character from the series who remained a cereal mascot beyond the '60s.

Animaniacs was a brilliant piece of animation. I wish they'd show it again.

Maurice LaMarche!
The trend of giving A-List celebs every damn voice assignment in animated movies these days really bugs me. Usually they don't add anything to the proceedings except a name. Also, I don't think I can ever enjoy "Chicken Run" again because Mel Gibson is such a bigoted, violent-tempered, psycho-woman-hating piece of [bleep].
Too bad they didn't just have LaMarche do Gibson's voice.

That depends. About ten years ago, there was an animated film called The Road to El Dorado, the highlight of which, honestly, was Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline's voicing of the two leads.
