Jean LaFoote
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean LaFoote is a fictional pirate character from the Cap'n Crunch character set.
When Cap'n Crunch commercials debuted, they featured three children and their dog who sailed with the Cap'n on his ship, The Good Ship Guppy, ever encountering the Cap'n's nemesis, Jean LaFoote, the "barefoot pirate." The Cap'n Crunch cereal boxes contained small comic books featuring these characters. In a recent ad, Jean LaFoote returns, this time trying to steal the Captain's cereal recipe.
LaFoote is portraited as a dirty pirate with no shoes, who tries to get revenge by taking the recipe and make his own Crunchy Cereal. He looks similar to Captain Puffy from Squirrel Boy.
The character's name is a play on that of the historical pirate, Jean Lafitte.
