OK, so old Wally wasn't such a huge splash (he was just under 30 votes), but he was the first submission I ever submit to a derby, and as such, he holds a special place in my heart. It was a lesson in the unpredictability of the woot voter: my snail/giraffe hybrids were slapped together much quicker and submit a couple days later, yet they far surpassed the Walbird, which I'd hand-drawn, and then had to learn inkscape and tinker with gimp to a degree that I had never done. It was a huge trial-by-fire, and the payoff was slim. Still, I think it's a good, simple design that has a delicious air of absurdity. It could even become iconic some day. Right? Weigh in here.

Ah so the snails are meant to be giraffes? Silly me :)
I like this guy too - I wonder if people just like easy to comprehend designs? I love weird designs, what can I say.....I have a tshirt with a Mr Potatohead on it, standing by a board full of noses. And it says, under the picture "Mr Potatohead picks his nose". Because I'm weird like that :)
I love it!!!
