Hello Gonefishin! Thanks for checking in here. You're absolutely right about A & C. However, your guess for J is the Forest Service's OTHER mascot. So, you're very close! I almost put in a clue for Smokey the Bear regarding forest fires...but decided to go for the other one regarding pollution instead. Have another guess?
ok I feel very non-smart here, but...
a. count choc-u-la (sp?)
d. chucky cheese
e. BK
j. smokey bear
n. top hat and cane
o. a trench coat and maybe a fedora
well, now I know not J.
Dani, you're correct on most. D & O are correct. E is BK...Burger King for those that didn't understand the initials. N (Mr. Peanut) is correct....but he also has that all-important monocle!
Gonefishin, you're correct about that owl. Hopefully, somebody will remember his name!
In the first section, we still need the answer to B. Second section, need all. Third section, need K L & M. Fourth section, need all. Keep the guesses coming!
B - Tucan Sam (Froot Loops)
I think the owl was named Woody the owl.
Very close, Sandy-san. It's Woodsy the owl! And, B now has the right answer with Toucan Sam! Keep guessing!
K - eye glasses?
Sandy-san, you are correct...Charlie Tuna did wear glasses - sometimes sunglasses. But, he usually wore something else on his head too!
These are harder than I thought they would be. As much as I had seen these icons over my lifetime, you would think they were etched in my brain. *shrugging shoulders* I guess I should be happy that they aren't, though! =)
P is correct: a black cat.
R. "Nipper" did listen to "his master's voice" for RCA commercials.
Just to clear up K completely: Charlie Tuna wears a beret on his head.
