Can you suggest a mascot for Forumosa?

Formosan blue magpie.

Guys, seriously!

No-one’s getting sued by Matt Furie here, because no-one’s appropriating his creation as the mascot of a website he has nothing to do with. Nope, 沒有.

Ergo, whether or not Pepe is racist is completely irrelevant.

As for you, Doc, if you want to out yourself as David Feiss, we’ll need to see some hard evidence before we can believe you.

(No, not that kind of hard evidence! :see_no_evil:)

I like the big-nose academic

That’s why I didn’t include a drawing

A little on the nose, sexually dontcha think. :wink:

Yeah, I’ll see myself out.

@anon38216271 I can’t believe I overlooked the most obvious reason that I am championing this mascot. He has a real look of eager servitude. Does he not?
I guess there is good reason that this anatomical advantage didn’t survive evolutionary pressures. Woe is us.

Not only that, but his nose looks like a dick.

How about a 台灣獼猴?

In a toga, of course

Wow - thank you for the great response!

I like the idea of a tugou in toga. And using an animal mascot does sidestep issues about race since we all come from all over the place, including Taiwan. And the Formosan Black Bear and Blue Magpie are also very meaningful suggestions

Here is a design contest on 99designs.com similar to what I had in mind
https://99designs.com/character-mascot-design/contests/create-stickers-messengers-share-creativity-packages-each-754159

I will draft a creative brief and run it by you guys in case you want to add more suggestions.

Servitude? Err I guess but if that’s what you’re striving for wouldn’t clown in a classroom suffice? IJA/IJS. LOL

I know the guy, but only from the waist down. :wink:

I think the blue magpie would look great in a toga.

I’m not sure it would be clear what such a mascot was, though it could be awesome if it was drawn well. The black dog should be really clear though.

I don’t get the black dog.

A Taiwan tugou.

… in a toga eating tofu and tuna to-go while tooting a tuba on Tuesdays
