Red-winged blackbirds(Agelaius phoeniceus) are handsome birds, but their young are… well, pretty awkward.

Look at this bird, and now picture a college kid in a dorm. Yep.

There are some weird advertising characters out there. This is one of them: Darigold milk during the mid-1980s was putting Milkwalker, a pint of milk with arms and legs(and rather scary ones at that)

I’ve found no origin story, no other record of his being a thing that answers any questions about what Darigold was thinking and how long he was (to them and the schoolchildren who saw him daily) a thing.
