Wheedle On The Needle Mugs

Wheedle on the Needle was one of the first in the Serendipity series of children’s books. It featured a Sasquatch like character from the Pacific Northwest and a number of Seattle related locales such as the Space Needle and Mount Rainier. A local favorite of mine.

Dancing on the Head of a Needle by James McVey inspired design.

The 1979 World Championship Series was played at the conclusion of the 1978–79 season. The Western Conference champion Seattle Supersonics played the Eastern Conference champion Washington Bullets, with the Bullets holding home-court advantage, due to a better regular season record. The series was a rematch of the 1978 Finals, which the Washington Bullets had won 4–3, though this time around, the Supersonics defeated the Bullets 4 games to 1 putting themselves in the history books as the 1979 World Champs. This design celebrating their win includes their mascot, Wheedle, of Wheedle on the Needle fame. He was their official mascot from 1978 through 1985 before being retired.
