Roadside post. Dusty rules with a fiberglass hand (paw?) over the North End of Westerly, RI. Stopping off for ice cream yesterday with your correspondent's nephew and nieces, sister, and mother, we had time to ponder some of Dusty's finer points.

To start with, accessories: The top hat is traditional. The sunglasses make sense, especially on a bright summer day on Friendship St. The blue cup? Cocoa maybe. But what's up with the black mittens?
Status: No doubt Dusty's figure looms large in the land of soft-serve and chocolate jimmies (never "sprinkles"). But my sharp-eyed sister noticed these copyright warnings posted inside the shop, right next to the napkin dispenser (Woe unto he who would profit from Dusty's mascot).
(One last point: Take a look at the image of Dusty in the copyright notice (left) and then in the photos above. Notice anything sinister?)
