Méalóid, Pádraig (9 January 2014), "Last Alan Moore Interview?", Pádraig Ó Méalóid AKA Slovobooks , retrieved 12 September 2016 British jam manufacturer James Robertson & Sons used a golliwog called Golly as its mascot from 1910, after John Robertson apparently saw children playing with golliwog dolls in the United States. [15] Robertson's started producing promotional Golly badges in the 1920s, which could be obtained in exchange for tokens gained from their products. By the 1950s, the firm had incorporated the figure into the advertising campaign for its jams with the slogan "Golly! They're Good".

In September 2018, three golliwog dolls were removed from public display at the Royal Adelaide Show arts and crafts display after Indigenous community group Deadly Yarning posted pictures of them on Facebook and denounced them as racist. [48] Virginia (Ginny) C. Knox, previously brand director for Robertson's and later Chief Operating Officer of the Culinary Brands Division of RHM, told The Herald newspaper in Scotland in 2001 that the decision to remove the Golly symbol from Robertson's jam and marmalade jars was taken after research found that children were not familiar with the character, although it still appealed to the older generations. "We sell 45 million jars of jam and marmalade each year and they have pretty much all got Golly on them," said Knox. "We also sell 250,000 Golly badges to collectors and only get 10 letters a year from people who don't like the Golliwog image". [20] Dotz, Warren; Morton, Jim (1996).

Toowoomba accused by activists of being Australia's most racist city after chemist shop display Offensive 'white Christmas' display sparks calls for Golliwog boycott in Australia". Courier Mail. 2 December 2016 . Retrieved 9 December 2016. In April 2023, the Essex Police removed several golliwog dolls displayed in the pub of the White Hart Inn in response to an alleged hate crime. The pub's owner, Benice Ryley, said, "They're my childhood history, it’s a part of our inheritance. I can't see any harm. I don’t know how they can find it offensive." The decision achieved international media attention amidst reports that the Home Secretary Suella Braverman objected to the action. [36] The pub was later graffitied and vandalised [37] and eventually closed for business after a number of their suppliers withdrew their services. [38] Later that month, a Norfolk café owner removed a display of golliwog dolls after police declared the exhibit a "hate incident". [39] Australia [ edit ] Actually, who am I kidding? My parents were very anti-commercialism and I never actually was given any of these things, except for a Beanie Baby that I immediately de-tagged, thus ruining any potential value. But I definitely wanted some of them. Then again, I also wanted the Peter Pollywog Patrol Frog, despite the facts that a) I had no idea what it actually was, and b) it was a purely fictional hot commodity. But I can't be the only one who saw that scene in Miracle on 34th Street (the 1994 one) and desperately wanted one, right?

Red Sonja

Whether those are simply the actions of an animal recalling a human that was kind to it, or something more -- higher intelligence? a mental link? -- isn't clear, as the finale doesn't slow to ponder those questions; Dustin pauses to say his goodbyes, and the kids make their escape. We're also left to wonder where all the pollywogs-turned-Demodogs came from, y'know, beside the obvious answer: the Upside Down.
