Title

  • Barks McWoofins - I Hate This.

Summary

  • "In 2018 for National Consumer Protection Week CPSC introduced a fake "retired" agency mascot named Barks McWoofins. Barks wasn't happy to be called out of retirement, but they did it anyway to help keep consumers safe. With their trusty smoke alarm sky chariot and off-screen friend Chuck, Barks took on everything from portable generator and carbon monoxide safety to pool safety and beyond. His catchphrase, "Fax them the knowledge, Chuck!" was featured prominently across McWoofins safety memes. This graphic was the first to feature the character who was originally going to be named Barks McScruffs."--Description from creator, Joseph Galbo.
