Srulik
Srulik is a cartoon character who has been the symbol of Israel since 1956. He was created by the Israeli cartoonist Kariel Gardosh, known by his pen name Dosh. Srulik has appeared in the newspaper Maariv for many years and is considered an icon of Israel, just like Marianne is an icon of France and Uncle Sam is an icon of the United States. Srulik has also been a common nickname for boys named "Yisrael" ("Israel", from Hebrew: ישראל), although by the 2000's it has become an outdated nickname.
