[Aristocrat]

kinda out there but... Shaun the Sheep?

No, but I think this is also outside the possible time frame so I will refund the guess.

[DreamTrawler]

Spider-Ham definitely speaks though

[Spartaculous]

Free guess: Spider-Ham

Spider-Ham definitely speaks though

Eh... I guess you're right, but I'll leave it, especially after the Spider-Man discussion from last round.

[DarthPorg36]

Is this animal's lore heavily involved with: Christmas, Easter, CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Disney, or Folklore?

No

Free guess: Spider-Ham

Not Spider-Ham

I’ll offer a clue after Q19 that should set people on the right track, if no one’s gotten it before then

[Spartaculous]

Free guess: Spider-Ham

Not Spider-Ham

I’ll offer a clue after Q19 that should set people on the right track, if no one’s gotten it before then

I think I have a good guess... but I'm just not quite confident enough to risk burning a question.

Since DreamTrawler pointed out earlier your first guess was impossible, if you want a second free guess go ahead.

Eh, thanks, but I think I'll play it straight, and wait until after Q20 is asked. If I'm right, it's a very clever pick.

[Ernst_Brenner]

Is it a pig?

[Aristocrat]

Is it a pig?

Not a pig

(Clue will be after any remaining free guesses)

[DreamTrawler]

Joe Camel?

[Spartaculous]

Joe Camel?

This was a great question:

Was this character initially created for an audience that was primarily less than 18 years old?

[Aristocrat]

Joe Camel?

No need for the clue, you figured it out.

To explain the passes:

The mascot came out in 1974 in France, and was later introduced in 1988 in the US. While the US version seemed to be targeted at minors (many people would say that, including the US government), the French version was a little iffier and I couldn't find any good details either way on that.

On primarily meant to be read, I thought ads with some, but generally minimal, words straddled enough of a grey area to warrant the pass.
