Whats the deal with the penguin?
It’s a tribute to animator Nick Park’s award-winning 1993 Claymation short, The Wrong Trousers. What you are seeing is the jewel thief Feathers McGraw (without his clever chicken disguise). A box with eye holes was also in that film. Note: The penguin in “Identity Crisis” (created in 1994) is definitely a reference to Feathers McGraw (created in 1993) and not Tux, the Linux mascot (which did not show up until 1996). The penguin is seen in “Identity Crisis”, “Trust No One”, and “Web World Wars”. It also showed up in “Return of the Crimson Binome” and “Web Riders on the Storm”.
