The Amazing Maru-Cat!

(sung to the tune of the “Spider-man” theme song)

Maru-cat, Maru-cat, mildly kooky and slightly fat
Sees a box, any size, squeezes in, at least he tries
Look out! Here comes the Maru-cat!




Andrew Y., Andrew Y., thank you, Maru-submitting guy.

    I love the frontal views with the tail swinging in the back.

    Nice carry-through with the lyrics.

    I am SO glad that Maru was shown in profile. I also love the little lick,lick, swallow after he settles into position.

    Andrew Y. I’m so glad you have taken on the task of being the Chief Maru Poster – it’s a big undertaking with all the attendant responsibility to the denizens of Cutetropolis.

    I love that we are on video #20

      I’m surprised we’re only on video #20..

        To be fair, it’s “Box and Maru” video #20. Maru’s human has many other video series for His Roundness.

          Oh, I know. But only 20 box videos? Seems low. 😉

    The side view kilt me ded. Sublimely ridiculous in the best way.

    Everyone I know is at NYCComicon. They are dressed up like killer nurses from Silent Hill and a game called Killer Alice (in wonderland).
    Sweet gentle people who wouldn’t hurt a fly. Go figure.

    I’ll send Mike some pics. Maybe he can post.

    I am a total newshound so the election debacle is right up my ally. I watch live news. Then I watch the news reports. Then I watch the shows about how the news was reported.

    I can remember the Nixon/Kennedy debate. It is very sad to see how far we have lowered what should be intelligent political discourse. So many uneducated electorate and politicians taking the true meaning of democracy for granted. Sigh.

    I am happy to report that I had a drawing in my head for a month that couldn’t get on paper until today. After three or four false starts over two weeks it just flowed out in a continuous swoop today.

    I’ll post it on my website tomorrow. It’s title is BROUGHT TO LIGHT. It is about me experiencing much less PTSD symptoms lately! Yay!

      Ack! Meant this post for Open Thread. Reposting it there.

      Maybe Mike can eliminate this post. Hint.

    *singing* They tried to make him go to box-hab, he said meow, meow, meow.

    • Starfish October 8, 2016 / 7:43 pm

      Maru is boxhab’s greatest failure, in more than one sense of “great”.

    The last shot looks like a Maru Pez Dispenser.

    Hana sitting on a barrel with the word “SIMPLE” on it–is that the Japanese version of wearing the dunce cap and sitting in the corner? I hope not! Hana’s too cute for such mockery, even if she isn’t quite as clever as her big brother… 🙂

    “Aaaahhhhh–perfect fit.”
