Welcome to #CheckIn for MONDAY, 2025-07-28


Growing up there were so many cartoon animals! Newspaper comics strips, cartoons, animated features: Krazy Kat, Pogo, Snoopy, Marmaduke, Garfield, Opus, and more! Did you have a favourite when you were a kid? Do you have a favourite now? Who makes you smile just thinking about them? Bugs Bunny was my first love, but I must say that Totoro is my adult crush.

Among Donald Duck and his extended family, Snoopy and Der Superpiep, Garfield was a favourite. The German long title included the phrase "fat, lazy and philosophical". Also, Lasagna! (I noticed I could look up that word I had not heard before, 4th grader me found something related in a dictionary, but adults were sorta out of their wits to explain what it really meant. More reasons to peruse the library. I owe Garfield.)

Today, very Japanese/Taiwanese characters get the spot. Bugcat capoo, Jian Tu (the rabbit), Cony and Brown are a favourite, kawaii to the get no even when they are crying. They live here as two hand-sized plushies, and measure the space that being friends, lovers and the full range of togetherness can fill.

I played Snoopy in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when I was in high school. I watched many of the 70's Saturday morning and Sunday cartoons. Pink Panther, Scooby Doo, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck come to mind immediately, could probably think of more. Indeed, now that I've triggered the "think of those cartoon animals" process, more will probably come to mind throughout the next day or two.

I watched (and still watch occasionally) Bugs Bunny and the whole Looney Tunes gang. I love Scooby Doo (my cats are named Daphne and Velma). My all-time favorites, though, were Snoopy and Woodstock. I also dedicated my master's thesis to Bill the Cat. ACK THPPFFT!

When I was in high school, my mom got me this thing:
