Mr Pickles Update: He’s Not a Sausage

Not a peep has been heard of the poor old Mr Pickles sign it went missing a few months ago, but on Friday it seemed there may be a break in the case. Mission Mission noticed that the sign for the Schwarz Sausage company cuts a distinctly similar profile to Mr Pickles, and put the question out there: Could the sign have been repurposed as a piece of hotdog advertising? We looked into it, and while the two signs may be brothers — fraternal twins, even, it doesn’t seem one could have replaced the other. We managed to track down these photos of the Schwarz sign from 2003, a year in which we clearly remember sharing a chicken salad sandwich with Mr. Pickles himself, well before his kidnapping. The search continues. [Via Mission Mission]
