A Golliwogg (also spelt "Golliwog" and a.k.a. Mr. Popo, Jynx and Imperfect Cell) is a popular children's character and doll that was created by Florence Kate Upton in 1894 and originally appeared in her book, The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwogg. The Golliwogg is basically a rag doll and less smelly version of a nigger with a face that was meticulously drawn by Akira Toriyama. As of 2018, having a Golliwogg in the UK can get you arrested and charged with a hatecrime.
