Come to think of it, they do remind me of the "Let's all go to the movies" characters!donnie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 4:48 pmI meant to post this yesterday, as it pertains to the Thanksgiving Google Doodle. Anyway, these are not advertising mascots, but they still made me think of this thread, and I liked them, so I'm going to post them. (I guess the shapes of some of them reminded me of Willing Water above.)Here's a screenshot (of course they were animated).

Otto looks a little friendlier here. This was from an expired eBay sale. The description is: "Vintage Orkin man Advertising Lot - Otto charms & cardboard Otto Matic Pop Pistol." This must have been the cardboard a toy pistol was mounted on (?)
