Just so you know about my intensely scholarly efforts this evening: I wondered what the earliest known smiley face in the world is.

It is found on a 3, 700 year Hittite pot found in Turkey, with the classic two dots and curved line.

You are welcome! 🙂

@Thoreau Harvey Ball is buried quite close to me.
