That’s what hoops&yoyo fans would say when they hear the success story of these loveable Hallmark-designed characters, which started small in 2001 but have now taken over the world. To give you an idea, over 50 million free e-cards have been sent since 2004.  

These funny characters were created when artist Bob Holt was challenged to create a 4th of July e-card animation using only a firecracker. Bob started with a little green bunny he had already created at home; then the green bunny transforms into hoops, a pink kitty with enormous eyes and an unusually large head plunked on an unusually small body. When hoops eventually needed a pal, the original green bunny came back to life as yoyo.

(Like most children, we might add.)And watch for them tonight on the Teen Choice Awards. Who knows what they’ll get up to!
