Bitter
Watermelon
Served
Loyally as Syndicate Mascot:
Never. He's not a Mascot at all.
Most fruits
are sweet, with their high sugar content and all. Nature's Candy, they're
often called. Some fruit can turn bitter though... bitter enough to take
action against oppressors that don't exist.
 It
began when Perry and Fresnel became Syndicate mascots on February 28,
2001 (see their story here). This enraged
the misguided melon because he felt he was more deserving of the prestigious
title of "Spring Mascot." Foolishly, the mascot began protesting
loudly and violently outside the Syndicate's headquarters in Colorado.
The noise pollution became too much and he got his attention... but not
his title. The baseball and the bat earned their spot.
The watermelon
got an article in the Syndicate Press
outlining his story, which you can read here.
That's all though, and now the watermelon is probably being consumed at
a picnic somewhere.
Will the
Syndicate be able to trust fruit again? Perhaps, in time.

to be cartoonishly rendered? Mail
