I'm a big penguin fan! One of my favorite books growing up was Mr. Popper's Penguins and I always thought how cool it would be to have a penguin as a pet growing up. Of course now we have Great Danes, they're a little larger, but I just found out how to make a penguin emoticon on Facebook and if you love penguins, you may want to try it!
Club Penguin was a vital social network for teens and high school students, who could interact and chat with other users, under the guise of a computer game featuring animated penguins living in a virtual world. In a way, Club Penguin set an early baseline for a generation of adults who now interact through video games like Fortnite and Call of Duty with social networking features.

BRIGER: Yeah, it was in the funny pages. It took place in a small, Midwestern town called Bloom County, and there are a variety of characters, including probably the most famous which was a penguin named Opus. There were other human characters. And it often lampooned popular cultural figures of the day and politicians as well.
BRIGER: Yeah, that's right. He had a big, emotional reaction to the publication, and mostly because he was upset how the character Atticus Finch was treated. In the original "To Kill A Mockingbird," Atticus Finch is this very heroic character and in "Go Set A Watchman," he's portrayed as a racist. And Berkeley Breathed was worried that this was going to kill off the character in the imagination of readers. And it made him reconsider his own characters.
BRIGER: I'll give a little bit. There's some famous characters that people might know. It's Opus the penguin, who is a earnest and innocent penguin, Bill the cat, who seemed to be, in part, a parody of a popular comic at the time, "Garfield," Cutter John, who was a paraplegic Vietnam vet who liked to ride down hills, imitating - having Star Trek fantasies. There was Steve Dallas, a former frat boy who was a defense lawyer who often could be pretty sleazy. I think those are some of the main characters.
BREATHED: The issue was that the editorial cartoonist - the conventional ones, the ones that were on the political pages of the newspapers - were incensed. They were mad enough that Trudeau had won it 10 years before. But he was arguably, really, just a walking, talking editorial cartoon on the comic pages. Mine clearly was not to wit. It was populated with a penguin and a dead cat. So the idea that I had infringed on their territory was not taken very well. And they let Columbia University know. They let the newspapers know. They released press releases. They spoke out rather vociferously to have my Pulitzer revoked - unsuccessfully. And it was - it ended up a very funny scene because Columbia was so embarrassed by this time that they could barely give it to me before kind of ushering me off the stage and telling me to get the hell out of town, which I was happy to do (laughter). I never looked back.
There used to be, famously, an editor at the LA Times whose primary responsibility - he did other things in the newspaper, but for the comics, he did one thing - that was to remove the butt cracks from various comic strips who kept including them as their characters bent over. I think there were a couple with "The Katzenjammer Kids" or something.
Bloom County originated from a comic strip known as The Academia Waltz, which Breathed produced for The Daily Texan, the student newspaper of the University of Texas. The comic strip attracted the notice of the editors of The Washington Post, who recruited him to do a nationally syndicated strip. On December 8, 1980, Bloom County, syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group, made its debut and featured some of the characters from Academia Waltz, including former frat-boy Steve Dallas and the paraplegic Vietnam war veteran Cutter John.
At the very beginning of the strip (December 1980), the central setting was the Bloom boarding house run by the grandparents of Milo Bloom. As the strip continued, various boarders (and/or pets) moved into the boarding house. In the order the characters debuted:
Breathed decided to end the strip in 1989.[10] In keeping with the continuity of the Bill the Cat/Donald Trump storyline, Trump "buys out" the comic strip and fires all of the cast. In the strip's final weeks the cast found new "jobs" with other comic strips. A "goodbye party" was held over the course of the week where characters talked about joining new strips. Portnoy and Hodge Podge get jobs as janitors behind the scenes at Marmaduke; Steve Dallas joins the cast of Cathy and attempts to pitch himself as a new superhero, but is quickly fired from both jobs; Michael Binkley becomes a wild boar skinner for Prince Valiant. Lola Granola says that she has been invited to pose for Playboy, which Opus dislikes. Milo Bloom is seen with a snake swallowing him head first and informing Opus he would be appearing Tuesdays in The Far Side. Oliver Wendell Jones is seen with the distinct features of Family Circus characters. He informs Opus he is being "bussed in" to the strip as part of a court order. Once Bloom County characters are scattered, only Opus is left as part of a plot to transition to Breathed's next strip in Bloom County's final week.
Shortly after Bloom County ended, Breathed started a Sunday-only strip called Outland with original characters and situations introduced in Bloom County's final days. However, Opus, Bill and other characters eventually reappeared and slowly took over the strip. Outland ran from September 3, 1989, to March 26, 1995. Another Sunday-only spinoff strip called Opus ran from November 23, 2003, to November 2, 2008.

You might be asking yourself: how do I do the penguin emoticon on Facebook, Skype, or Gmail, Gchat, for text messages etc. Here you can find the answer to your question: by typing these special characters you can make text penguin emoticons and smiley faces. Please feel free to copy and paste them wherever you want to post them (e.g. FB chat). This is like drawing smileys with typing text characters on your keyboard. You can create more variety if you could use Alt Key Codes where you are able to access international font characters.
This tutorial will help you learn how to draw cute penguins easily. These animals are very easy to recognize with their white and black feathers. They have a white belly (5), black wings (3) and a black beak with an orange-yellow streak (2). They also have tiny black feet (4). Penguins are about 2 to 3 feet tall and they are not able to fly.
The penguin have a small round head. The body is made of a big oval shape. The feet are small and the wings are thin. The beak is narrow and long to help the penguin catch fish. The entire penguin could be drawn using circles except for the beak and the wings. You should use triangles to sketch those parts of the body.
Start practicing drawing a penguin by sketching a rectangle for the body. Next, work the outline a little bit by adding a curve to the top. Next, add circles for the eyes. Then, draw the beak and add a circle for the white belly. Complete your artwork by sketching the pupils, the wings and the feet. Add some colors to make your work more pleasant to look at!
Once you feel comfortable enough, you can try to draw a more realistic penguin (4). But for now, you might prefer to practice yourself by creating simple penguins like this one (5) or this one (2). Just remember to draw short and thin wings, some small feet and a white belly.

But, this creation from Dudás (who also goes by The Dudolf) has us craving a creamy cup of hot cocoa. Take a look at this adorable scene he posted to Facebook. Can you find the mug of hot chocolate tucked away while the penguins are at play?
Season 5 of Gotham is the end of the prequel show. That means a lot of the characters will hopefully be fully realized as their DC personas by the end of the season. The Cheat Sheet talked to Robin Lord Taylor and the rest of the Gotham cast at the Paley Center on Dec. 13. This is what he had to say about his final transformation into the Penguin. 2ff7e9595c
