Who Would Have Thought Something As Mundane As A Manhole Cover Could Be So Beautiful? These Are Just

Kitty Cat looks so cute in this ❤️

How it Started

Aloha! Here’s my latest Calabash comic strip featured in today’s Honolulu @staradvertiser newspaper 😊 I’m not the first person to do this gag. There are multiple posts that talk about it, and I remember seeing a local meme on the many uses of a slipper (flip-flops for you mainlanders) in Hawai‘i but couldn’t find it until this morning when I wrote ‘Slippah’ instead of ‘Slipper’ 😊

•Have a great day off for those who get one. Keep smiling and stay safe, all! 😊

Ape Trouble

A well educated and mild mannered ape finds himself without a job, home, or a friend. Through his many adventures, though, he finally finds one out of the three that means the most.

A very happy Jack-O-Lantern grins at himself in this special design just for throw pillows. Just right for Halloween.

Our classic Koi Waves throw pillow is a comfy square of colorful fun. Nice anytime of year.

Loved this movie so much when it came out! The effects were amazing. It wasn't just your standard "animation over live-action" movie, which had been done many times before. For the first time, these animated characters had actual depth; they seemed to inhabit the live-action scenes instead of floating over it. It was also the first time in a long time a widely released U.S. animated movie was targeted toward a more mature audience.

Scott C. has done another great job, picking one of the most tension filled moments of the movie and putting an innocuous looking spin on it.

“No toon can resist the old Shave-and-a-Haircut trick.”

Hi, I was just wondering if you were aware of this or not.

Although I get it from a money point of view, the 'opt out' thing is still disappointing for me.

I wish it were an 'opt in' thing instead.

Yeah, I'm aware. But it's probably worth it to spread this around so other people here know that there's an 'opt out' option. This isn't something new, by the way. Just about every other major social media platform has already sold / is actively selling your data for AI training and for other purposes. The bigger players are training their own AI models on the data/activity/content of their userbase too. And whatever existent information could be scraped by external parties without the permission or knowledge of you or the platform's parent company has also already been gathered up. So, that this place is on board too is par for the course. Disappointing? Yes. But surprising? Not really. Oh boy, we humans sure are the hot commodity of our time. Hooray. We're the MVPs of capitalism (most valuable products).

Anyway, this is bleak, and I have to go make some cat animations.

Mahalo everyone who attended the Librari-con Cosplay event! It was a great turnout and a lot of fun, with cosplays from different ages. It was wonderful to see many faces that I didn't see at Kawaii Kon. The event was a big success, with over 300 people in attendance, and it seems like the library is planning to organize more events in the future! 😊 Looking back, wearing the 35-pound proton pack in ghostbusters attire while manning the table for three hours may not have been the best idea, but it was worth it. Many thanks to Amanda Lei Perron, Gail, and the rest of the staff of the Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library for organizing such an amazing event! 😊
