Domo Cute But Dumb
Posted in Manga News on October 4, 2009 by Johanna
I thought the Domo manga was horrible — repetitive, unfunny, and pointless. (See for yourself.) But he makes for a very cute image, which is probably why he started as an ad mascot and has been most successful as various products.
Like now, for example, in 7-Eleven stores. They’ve got a special Slurpee flavor (apple, called Fuji Frost), various food packages, and even little straw attachments featuring the character.
My favorite Domo spin-off, though, is the unofficial Domo-burger — he looks yummy!

Yeah, but there have to be cuter mascots than this one! Why do people like this thing? Advertisers must know better than us, I guess!

I dunno. He’s simple, which is appealing, and yet he kind of looks like poop.
