Smokey "only you can prevent forest fires" Bear and Woodsy "give a hoot -- don't pollute" Owl are the last ones in recent memory. But with the World Wide Web's potential to pollute young eyes and minds, Uncle Sam decided it was time to put another critter on public service patrol. Dewie "look both ways before crossing the Information Superhighway" Turtle will teach youngsters how to safely surf the Net. The feds hope their responsible reptile will be bigger than Geico's gecko one day.
