Saturday Morning Cartoons Vacations in Japan

I just received a voicemail from Qais, who was appointed this week’s Toontwink via lottery, pleading, and feats of strength. The message was mostly garbled screaming, which I take to mean he’s still busy with his Flynn DeMarco sleepover or whatever.

Seeing as I am currently at my day job, dreaming about my real job, propped by a tripod fashioned of human femurs over a sweltering keyboard, this is really all we can afford: a casually perverse Japanese TV drama about a scorned woman who finds a beautiful young man half-dead in a cardboard box, and then, wait for it, drags him into her apartment.

Originally intended as a Japanese remake of the Seattle documentary film about my quest for Ectomo’s new writers (”Bughunter Q: Eliza Gauger and the Search for the New Scum)”, something is lost in the translation, here. But the essence, the geist of the tale is the same.

Please enjoy, with our compliments, the first episode of Kimi Wa Petto.
