Classic

Designer: Larry Ewing and The GIMP
                 / October Toys


Site: primates.ximian.com/~lewing/

Based on Tux, the Linux mascot created by Larry Ewing and The GIMP, we are pleased to present our Classic Gwin.

Larry Ewing developed Tux in the mid-90s after Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux) suggested a "contented" penguin for the mascot. Torvalds expanded, "Now, with penguins, (cuddly such), "contented" means it has either just gotten laid, or it's stuffed on herring. Take it from me, I'm an expert on penguins, those are really the only two options."

Classic Gwin sits approx. 2.5" high.
