All the Cool Kids Are Doing It: Cartoon Mascots

Starting a new regular (e.g. once every six months) feature today — you’re always asking for tips on how to make the A-list, well we’re going to start calling them out as we see them. Trendspotting for the A-list, if you will. And in case you’re slow on the uptake, we’re calling it All the Cool Kids Are Doing It.

Today’s virgin entry is Cartoon Mascots for regular features on your blog. Extra points for cartoons that look exactly like the Christoph Niemann-drawn mascot for Randy Cohen’s The Ethicist column from the New York Times.

UPDATE: Fred Wilson chimes in, questioning the ethics of using a graphic that’s almost identical to that of the very column you’re aping.
