Saturday Morning OYs – February 10th, 2024

An Awww:






Ooops, accidental repeat! This was already here in the OY list, when the Lard came along and triggered the Thursday quasi-synchronicity post. And we forgot to delete this occurrence.


There was a “Save the Naugas” movement! (Was that the Car Talk bros? Um, no, they were doing “Save the Skeets”.)

Here in the mid-South Side neighborhood around the University of Chicago, we think of this fabled pair as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde-Park.



Thanks to Chemgal for sending in this Frazz, a good combo OY/LOL.

  3. I think Boise Ed is referring to the text of the Bizarro/Wayno comic referring to the “grotesquely cute” mascot. I suppose cuteness is in the eye of the beholder, although the idea behind the “save the Naugas” campaign was inspired.

  4. @ guero (7) & Boise Ed (3) – Uniroyal still offers Nauga dolls for sale; I had considered getting one for my daughter several years ago, but I abandoned the idea when I discovered what they actually looked like:
