Well, it's about time you showed up, Hiltie.  Your guess is close, but over time, they SHARED an animated character to "spruik/pitch their product."  We're looking for that shared character.

P.S.  What the HELL is "spruik"?

Peanuts Characters by Charles Schultz. I'm not finding where it was one of the characters in particular though.

Anyway, your turn to give us a quartet.......

All have Chicago Landmarks named after them. Although I will never call it The "Willis" Tower.

Well, you're right, but maybe "we" should let the rest of 'em in on the fact that the "naming rights" for the Sears Tower were recently sold to the English company founded by Henry Willis.

P.S.  As Chicago-born and raised, neither will I.

So, the SDFemDom4cuck quartet stands as current:

LOL The first time I heard it referred to as the "Willis" Tower I had a classic WTF reaction. It was then explained to me. Nope. Always going to be The Sears Tower for me too.
