Leo Burnett Worldwide assigned Chicago-based cartoonist Don Margolis to do Snap, Crackle and Pop for the Rice Krispies boxes as well as other applications. Davidson Marketing also used him for their Rice Krispies assignments. Don did the three gnomes until the end of 1998. "Snap", "crackle" and "pop" are terms, based on the Rice Krispies mascots, used for the fourth, fifth and sixth time derivatives of position.
