Look, I get it. Oski the Golden Bear is supposed to be cute. At first glance, he is. But the more you look, the more his face looks like the mask Jason wears in Friday the 13th. The way his eyes pop out of his face, that perfectly curved smile that looks like it was drawn on a stick figure by a 6-year-old child … not so cute.

Berkeley is a school for smart kids, and the approach Oski takes to creeping into your nightmares is similarly clever. He’s not going to bust down your door while you sleep, flashing sharp teeth and claws.

He’s going to get to know you, share candy with you and then pounce when you’re most vulnerable. Be wary, kids.
