Ika Musume

image
There is an anime character named Ika Musume. She is an aquatic being, a "squid girl." She is conventionally drawn as you see to the right.

After the jump, you can see how one fan imagined the reality inherent in the term "squid girl."

Mildly NSFW.

Paper Doll

Paper Doll 《紙紮》 from Bernadette Choy on Vimeo.



No English translation of the dialogue, but that just makes it all the weirder.

The website "explains" thus: "An animation film about CHUNG's afterlife journey, in search of his cause of death. Chung look back his lifetime, and travel across the 'middle-land'. In the meantime, he made friends with the Paperdolls (paper work Chinese offering figures ). This is a relaxing and humorous animation that introduces the Chinese dead's world."

The Skeptic’s Dictionary



I'm certain every reader of this blog could happily spend hours at The Skeptic's Dictionary, whose mission since 1994 has been to explore "Strange Beliefs, Amusing Deceptions, and Dangerous Delusions."

Follies of the Mad Men #115

[From Life magazine for December 13 1943.]

Okay, if you want to claim that your shaving cream will make the Average Joe resemble a movie star, wouldn't you pick Errol Flynn, say, or even Humphrey Bogart, rather than Frankenstein's monster?
