Ah yes, a true icon of the early '90, and maybe one of the last reminds of marketing scheme of the '80. I remember thinkin how cool he looked. There was so much merchandize based on him. I believe there was a NES game based on him. Back when fluo and the tmnt were popular.. He was pretty much a marketing gimmick for 7up, but damn he was just everywhere

Fido Dido, a gawky, cornball, very successful licensed character, began its life as an illustration in unillustrious fashion ~ as a sketch on a cocktail napkin, to be exact.

It was in a bar after work that Susan Rose first sketched Fido Dido. Just 15 lines: a triangular head with features as uncomplicated as a snowman's and eight locks of scary, stand-up hair, that was in 1985.

Fido Dido's character was created by Joanna Ferrone to make other people feel comfortable: You are what you are and what you are is okay - that's the message.

ahh brings back memories

I got another one for you. You remember the stick figure guys that were on shirts that said quirky-fresh catch phrases? Like it'd have a guy on a chair that said "slacker." Or a stick figure in a bucket hat that said "it's all good."
