Why Penguins?

Rsnail has posted about why they chose penguins for Club Penguin:

"Why penguins? The answer usually surprises people. I needed a simple character that I could animate for an experimental project. Looking around my desk, I saw an old Far Side comic that I clipped from a newspaper. This comic showed a penguin slipping on a banana peel. The idea for a waddling penguin with a white background was born."

Wow. So that is why it is called Club Penguin and not Club Monkey where you swing around with a blue monkey, collecting grapes to buy gloves!

Yours Waddling
