    I’ve not laughed so hard at a cartoon since I don’t know when.

    I thought that Rat would go with something more…. violent. Still, I see a (happy?) future for Depresso. At least Rat is honest about how he feels about the job. I always feel a little bad for the people who have to walk around the park in their outfits.

    Depresso is just right for Rat to portray. I predict a long and successful future of depressing people for this mascot!

    His personality may be like Marvin or Droopy…. I loved Droopy….

    But he looks like he’s from Cul de Sac.

    MPeters… and I thanked you for the links you left for Gokie…..haha…. I used them too.So sue me… :)

    And Havelock I don’t feel sorry for them… I want to BE them.Except for the ones in big heavy suits…a friend was Chucky Cheese one summer, and that thick, furry suit and huge head in a hot, noisy pizza place almost made her faint…. But I always wanted to be, like… maybe Snow White at Disneyland.

    Darn, when I first read the sign I read Desperado. Had the Eagles runningthrough my mind until I read it again. Was so much better as Deperasdo.

    Just sitting there on the curb, Pig and Goat look depresso enough to make me want to stab my eyes out.

    Without the zoom, I read the sign as “Sod Kid” and thought it was either about grass flats after a rain, or an obscure gay-baiting. Maybe I’m over-analyzing it.

    Could have been worse; his bosses might have told him to dress as a big beaver, and he might have made a costume that would really traumatize the kids.

    Wasn’t ‘Depresso’ one of the seven dwarves?

    Finale — Uh oh ….I’m afraid I’m pretty Goofy myself.Gawrsh.

    Senex… of course…. that’s why I want to be her.A pretty dress and no giant head.Unfortunately…. sigh…There’s no opening at Disneyland for someone to play Snow White’s mother or grandmother…
