When I was 7 or so and read Beezus and Ramona for the first time…
…one of my favorite chapters was the one where Beezus gets assigned to draw an imaginary animal. She settles on Pegasus, and makes him green to be more imaginative.
Unfortunately, some kid accuses Beezus of copying the Pegasus from “a Mobilgas billboard” and making him green instead of red. She denies it.
This being the 21st century, rather than 1955 when the book was published, I didn’t know what Mobilgas was. So I read it as “moe-BILL-gus”, not the (now painfully obvious) “MOE-bull-gas”.
I’m not sure if I knew about Mobil the gas station chain yet.

Jethro may have not have any practical use for Mobilgas but you’ll often find him behind the barn huffiin’ a rag full.
