In speaking with employees, the animated mascot foe the company was removed to make way for a cafe. He is now in storage in the basement. — Andrew King (@twitandrewking) April 2, 2015

@twitandrewking I’m guessing it was from a staff uprising. — alkors@mstdn.ca (@alkors) April 1, 2015

Put down….in the basement “@tomjokinen: @twitandrewking What about Barn Door Buddy the dog?” — Andrew King (@twitandrewking) April 2, 2015

Still swinging! “@ALL_CAPS: @twitandrewking What about the monkey in the banana stand???” — Andrew King (@twitandrewking) April 2, 2015
