THE PRESS-ENTERPRISE
 PHOTO: The Press-Enterprise
An Enduring Character
10:00 PM PST on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 By JUAN SAUCEDO The Press-Enterprise Parky, a drawing of a kangaroo who picks up trash, is still at work 55 years after Lloyd Hutchinson created the character, but now the illustration can be found on the Web. Hutchinson, 83, of Corona, entered the drawing in a contest to find a cleanup symbol for the Los Angeles Recreation and Park Department in 1952. It was selected out of 450 entries. After the contest, Parky was remade by a graphic artist and put on trash cans, signs and billboards, Hutchinson said in a telephone interview. They even created a trash bag with the character on it. Parky, a kangaroo who picks up trash, is still at work 55 years after Corona resident Lloyd Hutchinson, 83, created the character. Parky says "Help keep your parks, roadsides and beaches clean." "It was featured in 275 cities in the United States in the first year. In the next year, it was in many foreign countries including Canada," Hutchinson said. Although the department retired Parky as a symbol more than three decades ago, the character has become popular in other states and foreign countries, he said. "It's big all over the world, but it's really big in Kansas," Hutchinson said. He said he found that Parky was still being used after he saw a blog on the Internet that was asking about the origins of the kangaroo. David Church, the chief of traffic engineering at the Kansas Department of Transportation, said Parky signs were used in the rest areas near the state's highways to remind drivers to pick up after themselves, but it was discontinued 10 years ago. There were about 35 signs when the Parky campaign was running in Kansas. Church said there might still be signs up because not all of them were taken down after the campaign. "This was something we've used for years and years. We just felt that it had a good message," Church said in a telephone interview. Hutchinson is glad the character he created all those years ago is still spreading its message, he said. "I thought of all the possible clichés and finally I thought I had a winner with Parky," he said. Hutchinson won a three-day trip for two to Mammoth Lake in the contest. He furnished his owned transportation. The department later had a Parky song contest and awarded the winners a two-week vacation for two in Europe, he said. "That made me mad and I wrote a complaint to the recreation department," he said. Now Hutchinson is trying to get a legislator to endorse a bill in the Kansas Legislature to make Parky a national campaign symbol such as Smokey the Bear, he said. Hutchinson, who was born in Maryville, Mo., has enjoyed drawing characters all his life. While he was growing up, he idolized the cartoon "Bringing Up Father" by George McManus, he said. He drew for the Navy and Army recruiting department during World War II. He also drew a monthly cartoon in the publication "The Bingo Bugle" for five years. "Making the world a happier place through humor and cartoons, that's my ambition." Reach Juan Saucedo at 951-893-2101 or jsaucedo@PE.com |
