A long way from Dudley Do-Right

In a story published Friday, the Detroit Free Press cited the mascot of the Northwest Mounties as one of the "most fearsome" mascots in the state.

"Not scary? Take a gander at the mascot photo," Freep writers Jim Schaefer and Kristi Tanner wrote.

Dudley Do-Right?

No. The Mounties have done away with cuddly Dudley and found themselves a more muscular Mountie.

Here's the new mascot.

Here's Dudley.

You decide.
