Bullwinkle. The name, the face, the antlers. It says it all. Being the proclaimed start of the show this moose has lead the series into stardom. With witty sayings, a low density thought process, and just darn good luck, Bullwinkle has helped solve a number of wrong doings (mostly on accident). From being a star college football play at Wossamotta University, to collecting box tops, to knowing it all. Bullwinkle's charm and personality has made him one of America's most cherished stars. From merchandising, to a ballon in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, this moose has been there, smiling.
Rocky, the flying squirrel. Known as one half of the Rocky and Bullwinkle duo. Often credited as the voice of reason in the series, Rocky puts the world under constant suspicion. He knows he has seen those faces before (Boris & Natasha) but can never quite put his finger on it. Rocky is truly the brains behind the operation; discovering the evil plots right before they are complete. His inquiring nature and intelligence have helped him and Bullwinkle out of more situations that I can fit on this page.
To the right are the matching drawings to this magnificent art production. Purchased from Mr. Bloomingdale COA.
