The things you find when you self-Google... The Footman was apparently created in the early 70s as a curmudgeonly counterpart to the horribly ubiquitous Smiley. You know the rest of the story: Smiley became associated with everything from acid house to Nirvana to e-mail, while the rival went Betamax.
Obviously the world would have been a far better place had the Footman, with his cynical, pessimistic demeanour, achieved cultural supremacy. But would he have ended up in Watchmen?

This is awesome. You may already be famous!
Have you not made a Footman your avatar yet?

That's a challenge to all of us, Valerie. Maybe we should just make stuff up about you and post it in unlikely places.
Only on Fbook, Billy. Here, I'm loyal to René.
