“It’s the store that gives me more!”
Only learned of this obscure 1980s DIY shop mascot last night and already I had to draw him!

LOL yeah I saw your re-tweet! Didn't take long! Must be a fox thing.
I learned of a 1980's "lounge lizard" from the UK known as a the "monster hits" monster.
A character of wealth and taste.

He was part of the advertising campaign for the pop music compilation Monster Hits, an ill-fated late 1980s attempt to rival Now That's What I Call Music.
I vividly remember the TV ad for that as well. Christ, I'm old.

Payless is the name of a shoe store in this country.
There was a It Payless Shoes store in Saginaw, Michigan. It was replaced by an Aspen Dental clinic.
I see someone saw it on YouTube too. :D Yep that fox has plenty of 'back'.
Here in America, we have a footwear retailer known as Payless (short for Payless Shoe Source), although where I live, it disappeared.
I vividly remember that ad! I don't remember seeing any Payless DIY shops, though.
According to Wikipedia, it was a fairly small chain which didn't last long before it was merged with WH Smith Do It All to become simply Do It All. There was one of those not far from where I grew up, but it later became a B&Q.
Was discussing this with someone too, but read the deal was done in 1988 and stores changed to Do it Alls. I'd only have been less than 3 years old and not remember it even if we had one. Nice fox though. Wonder if he had any instore/promotional presence?
No wonder he can pay less. I can clearly see, were he hides his shopping loot.
Stealing is cheaper than buying. XD

That's why I say you should draw him.
As he says in that commercial, "They say you should try everything once."

It's not request, it was a suggestion, that's why I said "maybe".
And I just thought you would like to see another cartoon fox 🦊.

I accidentally posted my unfinished comment lol. (i'm typing on mobile)
I changed my mind at the last second and i meant to say it's nice to see this character gaining popularity.
I know how you feel. I found this advert on Twitter and then on You Tube https://youtu.be/wpzWmqDOjds?si=5isoonFyL1T35Hbs Maybe I should draw fan art of him.
This advert really takes me back to my childhood when ads like this where so frequent.
