Did you ever wonder what happened to Squiggy?

> LOS ANGELES — They never forget Squiggy.
> 
> David Lander pulls his car into the special lot using the yellow badge that says baseball and parks in the closest spot by hanging a blue tag that says handicapped. Grabbing a bag that carries the tools of his job as a scout for the Mariners, he walks slowly to the ballpark with a limp from multiple sclerosis.
> 
> The Dodger Stadium gate opens, and he steps straight into 1976.
> 
> A man at the press-credential table leaps up to pump his arm with a heavy handshake. Later, an usher will leave her post simply to give him a hug.
> 
> Like so many nights at so many major-league stadiums around the country, Lander — better known as Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggman — is in the house

He is also the voice of an anal-retentive penguin on the children’s show “Oswald”.

Honestly, I’m not kidding about the anal-retentive part.
