Weatherbird
Actually, the Weatherbird was a Post-Dispatch original. Here's a quote from the 100th anniversary tribute book:
On February 11, 1901, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch unveiled the Weatherbird ... Without interruption for the past 100 years, the now-famous Weatherbird has graced the cover of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, earning its place in history as the longest continually running daily cartoon in American journalism.
Globe Democrat Weather Bird
I think the Weather Bird was originally something that was done the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. As I recall the Post-Dispatch adopted it when the Globe folded.
St. Louis icon
That's the Post-Dispatch Weatherbird...he's been the paper's mascot for over 100 years ... even has a blog.
