I sold the darker green one a few months back. I got them off ebay (w/o a 'buy now' for once or twice, lucky me) and I too have tried to get to the bottom of this before...no luck. I have seen "paddle licker" and "paddle sucker" used to describe them. I always called this one a paddle licker, his tongue is ticking out! The other versions, to me at least, is a paddle sucker: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=715503147&rd=1 Notice the slight difference in the body...his tummy is bigger. They are great mugs, a real classic IMO. My efforts to score the "sucker" version have yet to be successful. Are they are bird, is that a knife, is is what is left after he bites it? Where is Leonard Nimoy...we must go in search of answers. midnite
