Elmo Aardvark

  • ... that according to an elaborate 1990s joke, Elmo Aardvark was history's first animated cartoon character? Source: "In 1993, [Gore] decided to run a series of satirical articles … Many readers and the industry believed that Elmo was the first animated cartoon character." (Chris Gore, The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made, p. 74)

  • New enough and long enough. QPQ present. The source provided checks out and is included in the article. It is also quite interesting! No textual issues: the closest Earwig matches are award and series titles. Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 05:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
