Even as a naive and innocent kid I think it would bother me to be sitting directly on Pink Panther’s face. Of course I also had a problem with bikes–I didn’t learn to ride one until long after my friends did. That was the beauty of The Big Wheel and Green Machine. They gave me a way to get around without worrying about falling over.
If only they’d made a Pink Panther-themed lowrider I’d have been all over that.
