: Okay guys... anybody here remember the old Hanna Barbera cartoons circa

: crazy! Thanks!

: ps He sorta reminded me of a bowling pin with whiskers...


  I can't draw at all (my .sig pix is "borrowed), but I do remember the
  critter you describe, only I recall it as being a part of Al Capp's "L'il
  Abner" cartoon.  I believe there were whole bunches of them, friendly,
  agreeable little guys who would happily accommodate you if you were hungry
  by giving milk, laying eggs, or sacrificing themselves and tasting like any
  meat you liked. 

  I've seen bowling pins pictured here.  Maybe you could play around with 
  altering one of them?
