REQ: Shmoo

Hi everyone,

I think I remember someone asking for this sometime ago.  But I was 
wondering if anyone has drawn Shmoo or has a Shmoo sig?

Thanks.

What IS a "Shmoo"... does it hang around with Totoro?  ;)

You know it!!!! The Shmoo is the white blob from Saturday morning cartoons
from way back in (scratching his head***) Hmmmmmmm....well between 1982
and 1976. Is that right? I'm only 29 and can't recall what year the Shmoo
made me laugh like crazy and milk came out my nose! ha ha
Now that super lovable Shmoo could form into different shapes and talked
kind of like it was missing every 3rd vowel and every 5th and 6th
consanant. Very similar to Charlie Brown's parents voice on the phone but
much more lovable and cuddly. They should have made a Shmoo doll out of
that Stretch Armstrong plastic stuff but then again maybe they did. Take
care, Jon Melusky, wishing for more snow in Seattle.

Joan, you're showing your youth. Once upon a time there was a cartoonist
named Al Capp who created a series called 'Lil Abner'. In the series there
was a creature whose one and only aim in life was to please. The nice thing
about them was that they could morph. If you wanted a turkey dinner real
bad, you could count on a shmoo to become one so you could eat it - etc.
Anyway, a Shmoo looks a lot like one of those legless bottom heavy punching
balloons that pop back up when you knock them down. You know, sort of a
round bottomed bowling pin with the face on the upper bulb. Come to think of
it, if I could do a self portrait...
