Original Title: TIL that merchandise of this “Shmoo” character made the 1948 equivalent of 305 million dollars, he replaced Mickey Mouse as the face of the Children’s Saving Bond, and also had a crossover with the Flintstones. He was everywhere in the old days but inexplicably disappeared after the 70s or so.
