This is the teaser for Volkswagen’s Super Bowl commercial. Outside of the the beaver saving the motorist commercial, the best ad from 2011 was easily the “kid Vader” one Volkswagen put out. This might beat it:

Spielberg wisely left this nugget on the cutting-room floor:

I know, I know! She was the subject of the LAST Fuzzy Friday post… but she’s so awesome! SEE?! This is seriously all she wants to do — even when I feed her, she looks back and forth from the dish to me, like she’s conflicted about whether she wants food or to continue being petted. Kitty delight!

Also, we’re still a couple months away from our annual SPCA fundraiser, so if you have the cash and the inclination, please make a donation to Tamar over at I Have Cat, one of our fave kitty-blogs, in the form of purchasing one of the magnets at her online shop. 100% of the profits from each sale go to helping her cover the vet & food bills of Max, a handsome senior cat whom she’s fostering until he can be re-homed (his family of FOURTEEN YEARS gave him up due to “allergies”! If it takes 14 years for you to figure out you have an allergy, yer doin’ it wrong.) Anyway, say hi to Max:

Also definitely check out Tamar’s blog, as well as her Facebook page, for fun fuzzy pix and tales of her escapades with her feline roomies:)

Have a great weekend, guys!

Wow, sorry for the radio internet-silence; the holidays can do that to a guy. And by “that” I mean “crawl into a cave for weeks at a time with nothing to keep him company but his wife, cats, and copious amounts of fattening food and booze”.

Speaking of cats, remember this cutie from our last chat? Well, she just had her surgery on Monday morning and is recuperating nicely in the pillow & blanket nest I made for her in the bathroom. I felt bad sending her under the knife without a name, so she’s officially Penelope, at least as far as the state of Maryland is concerned. More pix will be forthcoming.

Anyway, let me show you what I’ve been working on. First up is a new design documenting the on-going exploits of Fuzz Aldrin, first kitty in space!

Being the enterprising sort, Fuzz decided to make a little scratch doing what he does best, not unlike his bud Victorious Yeti did with his alpine resort. I present to you Fuzz Aldrin’s Astro Camp:

Cyber-high-five to Yuki Shichi, a fan who helped critique an early version of this design months ago and really got me pointed in the right direction. She rocks!

Another cyber-high-five to Victoria Vu, who loved the skull & cross-carrots on the Pirate Bunny jolly roger so much that she asked that it be made into its own shirt. Done and done!

Finally, as I’ve already done with my I’d Rather Be Making Out & Peanut Butter & Jelly Lovers tees, I recently re-designed my Now Accepting Boyfriend Applications and Now Accepting Girlfriend Applications tees. I think they’re way better now:

Well, that’s it for now. I should have some new stuff up in the next couple weeks. Tomorrow we resume our normal diet of booze, weirdness, Japanese robots, and hilarity!

We met this tiny pile of cute last week on the street near our optometrist and have been fostering her while we wait for her spaying appointment and try to find her a new home. She looks a lot like our cat Oliver, so we’ve thought about naming her Olivia, but I’m trying to hold off on actually calling her that to prevent her from getting confused once she leaves for her forever-home. She’s awesome, and I’ll be posting more pix and video of her in the coming weeks!

Enjoy the holiday, everyone!

Pardon my French, but sh*t like this makes me want to cut a b*tch:

Typically I try to not let my home life bleed into these posts too much — I am boring, Japanese robots are not. But the other night after I was done working, I laid down on the bed and Oliver just made a bee-line for my arm, and well…this happened:

Bliss complete.

Have a great weekend, guys! And for those of you mid-Atlantic folks still trying to shore up your holiday shopping, you could do a lot worse than stopping by my booth at the Punk Rock Flea Market in Philly on Sunday! I’ll have free stuff like comics, candy & stickers waiting for you, plus event-only deals on shirts, belts, bags & more! Not too shabby for a meager $3 entry donation, eh?

THE PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET-DOME

Also, in case you missed it: my very own Whale Trip tee was featured quite prominently all over this week’s episode of ABC’s Modern Family! Alex Dunphy knows what’s up; do you?
