Oh, the Seen-ya Soy-cut!

You got the idea. ;) (Credit Where Due Dept.: New York World Telegram cartoonist Willard Mullin made the "Bums" appellation a fixture when, hearing his cab driver ask about how "doze Bums did taday" regarding the Dodgers of the late 1930s, he hit on the idea of representing the Dodgers in his sports cartoons by a caricature of Emmett Kelly, Jr., the legendary clown whose signature persona was a Skid Row derelict with a Buster Keatonish side. "Jints" was a diminutive probably invented by longtime New York Daily News sportswriter Dick Young.)
