Here for the big party? Let the Chick-fil-A Cows provide directions on where to park! Summing up the year that was with this many characters is never easy, but here’s a look back at some of our greatest hits.

Every year on April 6th, the hippest tuna under the sea joins the world in celebrating Sorry Charlie Day.

This week, we bid Italy and our adventures with Skiro the Squirrel arrivederci as we depart to the United Kingdom for a one-on-one with the ever-grinning, ever-charming Fred from Homepride.

Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe has always been one dapper peanut-about-town. That’s the full name for Mr. Peanut, by the way, and while most fans of the Planters icon may be unfamiliar with his formal name, his unforgettable fashion sense is what sets him apart from all the other nuts in the crowd.

Ciao, AW readers! We’re jetting off to Italy today to visit a family business called Rigoni di Asiago.

Ever since his debut in the 1960s, cereal fans everywhere have been smitten with Sonny the Cuckoo Bird and his zany enthusiasm for Cocoa Puffs. But Sonny wasn’t the only character crazy for that munchy, crunchy, and chocolatey taste.

For decades, they’ve shared their worlds with us by the bowlful with sweet cereals packed with adventure and excitement in every bite. Some of these fantastic concoctions are “gr-r-reat!” while others are magically delicious. If you want more, all you had to do was follow your nose — unless you’re a silly rabbit.

For a blog devoted to icons, we couldn’t have dreamed of a better agency to profile! We recently chatted with Pat and Amy for a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to work on these classic characters, the adventures of travelling to Canada with the Pillsbury Doughboy, and what they love about the term “character.”

Wherever this vehicle goes, a line of mustard follows — or is that really just a yellow traffic line? Why, it’s none other than the instantly recognizable Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!
