Mascot Mania

Last week's post on Rex the Homeland Security Mountain Lion's appearance at Public Service Recognition Week got me thinking about just how many agency mascots there are. Then I was flipping through the PSRW supplement in the Washington Post Express, and there it was: a coloring page for the kiddies featuring a whole lineup of the cuddly characters. It included the biggies (Smokey Bear, McGruff, Woodsy Owl), some I'd forgotten about (Mr. Zip, that weird little Postal Service stick figure) and a couple that are simply obscure (Rex and and the Food and Nutrition Service's Power Panther). Is that all of them, I wondered? Well, I found at least one more (and I swear I'm not making this up): the Energy Department's Yucca Mountain Johnny (courtesy of Wonkette). Anybody know of any others? Send the names my way and I'll make sure they get the publicity they deserve.
