Dash Dingo is a clothing store mascot and the title character of the video game Dash Dingo.

History

When Lisa caught a cold, and, at Marge's insistence, stayed home from school she at first occupied her time by watching The Learning Channel. Later Marge suggested that she should relax and play Dash Dingo, one of Bart's video games. Lisa gave the game a try and initially pooh-poohed it. However, she quickly became hooked on the game and Dash's adventures. She spent three solid days playing the game. By then she felt better and tried to stretch her game marathon into a fourth day, but Marge saw through her ruse and sent her to school. Lisa then ended up cheating on a test because she hadn't studied or done any homework.^[1]

Dash Dingo is also the mascot for Dingo Junction, a clothing store in Springfield Mall.^[2]
