My friends at The NY Press put Mr. Wiggles on their 50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers list for 2004. He rang in at #24!
The 50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers. #24: Mr. Wiggles
In the annals of New York cartooning, never has there been a more loathsome character than this vile little child-molesting bear. Foul-mouthed and foul-smelling, Mr. Wiggles gives teddy bears come-to-life a bad name. His partner and creator, Neil Swaab, deserves at least half the blame for the crimes of this Frankenstein anti-Pooh. Not only did the sinister Swaab once pee in Tony Millionaire's soda, he still laughs about it.
