Who are these cartoon characters?

BBC NEWS | Americas | Mexico stands firm in stamp row

Yes, who are these cartoon characters who make a big deal about memin pinguin? Last time I checked the mexicans did not import labor from africa, force them to work in the fields, treat them like third class citizens till recent times and did not do any lyching (leave alone take time over offering an apology).

Sometimes I think we make mountains of mole hills and fail to tackle the real mountains.
