Rich Uncle Pennybags (Now known as Mr. Monopoly. To that, I call balls!) is a time honored mascot for the game Monopoly. But few people realize his true roots. He was first seen in an old Parker Brothers' game named Dig, before receiving his name after having his likeness associated with the game Rich Uncle which debuted in 1933.
Oh GOD! It's as if Wilford Brimley mated with Uncle Pennybags! SLAY THE BEAST!
It wouldn't be for a few more years until Pennybags would grace Monopoly when, in 1936, he first appeared on select Community Chest and Chance cards. From there, he became associated with Monopoly more than any other game or character (except for that dick, Officer Edgar Mallory) and starting in 1985, the jolly man appeared in the second O on the box's lid.
