Big Boy, the hamburger-carrying mascot of the fast-food chain with the same name, is throwing in the towel (or rather the checkered overalls) to make way for a new girl in town named Dolly.

Well, Dolly isn't exactly new. Those who know Big Boy beyond his cameo in "Austin Powers" may recall that Dolly first appeared in the burger chain's classic comic books, "Adventures of the Big Boy."

This week, however, the chain announced that Dolly will be replacing the iconic Big Boy mascot to help unveil a new item.

According to Big Boy's director of training Frank Alessandrini, Dolly (who first appeared on the scene in the 1950s) is Big Boy's best friend and she has also appeared on kids' menus and coloring pages throughout the years. Now, she's stepping into the spotlight and has already replaced the classic Big Boy boy logo on the company's social media accounts and its website. For the time being, no physical Dolly statues will be made to stand outside restaurants.

"Big Boy has always had his own burger. We're excited that Dolly, after so long, got her own sandwich," Alessandrini told TODAY Food.

Unlike Big Boy, Dolly has blond hair and brown eyes. She also sports a dark blue overall dress and a red shirt. Instead of a burger, she's seen holding a crispy chicken sandwich.

I haven't seen a Big Boys in many a year.
