A star is born

And this is what he looks like.

Just look at this young man, people. Does he not look like fun? Does he not look like the sort of guy you'd like to hang with? Is he not the greatest mascot in the history of mascots?

OK, so maybe not that, but he's sure getting major play on social media these days. If you've yet to be introduced, this is Gritty, the new Philadelphia Flyers mascot. He's a big ol' hairy googly-eyed ... something. Looks a lot like the offspring of Animal from Sesame Street, though Animal has allegedly denied paternity.

In any case, the Blob's rep as a mascot-friendly zone demanded it introduce you to Gritty. So here he is. The Blob eagerly awaits the day Gritty squares off against the big red blob that is Western Kentucky's mascot in a What The Hell Is That Thing mascot battle royale.

T-shirt guns at thirty paces, gentlemen.
