I remember Felix the Cat. I think maybe they brought him out of retirement one year.

Can’t have Felix now, someone from the SJW crowd would screech RACISSS!

Imagine waking up hungover in some seedy 5th Avenue hotel and looking out to see that sea serpent looking back at you...

Very cool.
It actually dismays me how these days, every balloon is something corporate. Everything is a corporate TM character, not just generic fanciful child stuff.
Nevermind the endless inappropriate hip songs being sung. Why not just nice songs without the “edge” of being cool or “love” songs? Doesn’t have to be a rel Christmas song, but if ao, stop with everything being about so-called “love” (sex).

That one’s even self-inflating.

Felix? I thought Felix was a communist - he’d be acceptable.

.....They can simply be told to keep quiet, it is just a float.
