<< t is possible (probable?) that the Schmoo Award has been hidden in my subconscious for 4 decades. After I got to thinking about it, which was long after the Schmoo Award Concept hit the List, I vaguely recalled that Al Capp's newspaper comic strip L'il Abner had some loveable creatures that were called Schmoos. They resembled an overstuffed pillow (sort of like 3 huge marshmellows), with a flexible body about 2' to 3' tall. Their personality was in accord with their appearance, devoid of any distinguishing characteristics, but blandly mellow. Can anyone shed some light on my musings, or am I still trapped in the Twilight Zone? >>

The Twilight Zone called the List. In one of the episodes, they even ATE the little guys. That was more than 35 years ago IIRC.
