Re: 86 Today!
You’re right West Ender it doesn’t look like the traditional Golliwog more like a picanniny, if that is spelled correctly.
The real golliwog can be seen at http://www.sterlingtimes.co.uk/golliwog.htm However there is one point that I would argue with in the text. It states that the word “wog” stems from golliwog. To the best of my knowledge a Wog was a Wily Oriental Gentleman and was what our armed forces stationed in Egypt during WWI called the locals.
