"Cobi", Mascot of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games

Details: The Spaniards did not immediately take to "Cobi", the surreal dog from the Summer Olympic Games of Barcelona, who was designed by local cartoonist Javier Mariscal. "Cobi's" popularity slowly grew and by the end of the Games he was loved universally by the Spanish and the rest of the world.

"Cobi" was supported by a group of mascots during the Barcelona Games - including the Paralympic mascot "Petra". The whole mascot crew was featured as part of a popular Spanish TV show.
