HappyLittlePuzzles Meta Contest No. 2 "Pet Names"
Matt Gaffney tweeted this (and I presume it's okay to copy and post here?)
Not an April Fool's joke - today's puzzle is another meta contest! It's also Emet Ozar's world debut, and it's a great one.

Thanks, Kay!
It has my favorite whiskey, so I gave it a go, and managed it without trouble even though I don't know the cartoon. Fun.

I submitted. I had to google what I got, and it's a thing. A thing I never heard of. Not sure it's the thing they want, but it's a thing I submitted. LOL. Hope that's not a spoiler in anyway.

Only heard of the answer in other puzzling contexts, never watched it.
Thanks for posting the info here, Kay.

Very nice puzzle with a lot of fresh clues/answers! I, too, was too busy working to know much about this cartoon character.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Me too. That is: I got it, but had never heard of the character.

This one made me smile! I was like, "Huhhh?" for a bit and was like, "Oh yeah."
I'm in the camp that had heard of it, haha, but never watched it.
