Also I think the lion chef's original pet may be the squiddy smoothie background lion from the 2016 birthday celebrations http://www.chickensmoothie.com/archive/ ... thday/Lion .
Ooh, that's a good idea o: but I don't know what the staff's intention with that board is; maybe they just want to have the official event threads there? If a staff member doesn't happen to come along and see this, then I'll ask about your suggestion :3
And lol yeah that's the lion, oops OTL will fix when I update for next rollover; thank you!
edit (duplicated and added to from previous page duplicated back onto previous page (PLEASE AVOID LOADING THE PREVIOUS PAGE)) (still figuring out layout) it's back now haha:
