Ox by Uglydoll

What kind of name is OX? No, not like the animal OX, as in HUG and KISS! How can he hug you with such short arms? OX uses his ears! He's not a very good listener, but he puts his ears to good use in many other ways! OX is great at magic, and his best trick is turning your stuff into his stuff.

His best buddy Wedgehead calls that stealing, but OX just wants to borrow things from you for a few hundred years. He promises to put everything back when he's done. What he wants to steal most are kisses, whether they're in the chocolate variety or just plain, and he promises to be your friend if you would lend him a hand, or an ear...or like Two Dollars!

The Uglydoll line all started with a love letter and an orange monster in an apron. When artist Sun-Min-Kim returned to Korea after graduating from Parsons School of Design, her classmate and boyfriend David Horvath set to sending her little "I miss you cards." On the bottom of these letters, the now-famous Wage character was drawn. In return, crafty Sun-Min-Kim created a plush version of Wage for David as a Christmas present. Confronted with his sketch in plush 3D, David fell further in love with both Sun-Min-Kim and this endearing monster. The letters kept being exchanged, and the plush kept getting sewn.

Well, everything worked out quite nicely. After the impressive response to Wage's stuffed counterpart, David and Sun-Min have been busily dreaming up wild, new monsters to add to the Uglydoll family. Besides creating at least six new Uglydolls each year, they are now happily working on illustrations for kids' books. To make the ending even happier, they are married and have, as they call it, "little uglies of our own."
