The Inspiration Behind
What Do Communists Eat for Breakfast?

A protest on the campus of Wichita State University against the "Vietnamese Communists" prompted Jennifer Heinicke to write Francine.

"The uproar against the communists didn't start until eleven even though the commies were here at 8. I guess commie haters don't do mornings," wrote Heinicke, who further expressed her disbelief that anyone still viewed communism as a threat to our nation's security. "I guess our local commie haters aren't the go-getters they once were."

Francine responded, "I wonder what the Communists would eat for breakfast. Froot Loops? Cabbage?" Thus "What do communists eat for breakfast" was born.
