Tuxedo Sam is an adorable penguin from Sanrio, that has been a treasured character since his introduction in 1979. With his penchant for sporting a variety of colorful bowties and his charmingly round physique, Tuxedo Sam has been a symbol of joy and cuteness for generations. More recently, however, Sam has adopted a new companion that's further enhanced his appeal – a vibrant red balloon. A fanart Sanrio sticker with Tuxedo Sam and Balloon.
