Signs of normalcy are starting to appear in New Orleans after the terrorist attack, namely in the form of king cake and the Pelicans' creepy mascot.
The big picture: King Cake Baby is back in the Smoothie King Center for Mardi Gras.
- The diaper-clad mascot will be at all home games through Feb. 25, Pelicans spokesperson Sam Shannon says.
- The big baby emerged on Twelfth Night and has been taunting us on social media, judging king cakes and giving us the laugh we needed.
