NyanNyanNyanko [e link - j link]
brought to you by San-X

I adore Nyanko. Let's start by quoting the charmingly Japlish-English website, shall we?

What's NyanNyanNyanko?

On first sight, it is just a standard kitty. But Nyanko is good with "mimic" something (especially food)
Remember it's not edible.

A lot of curiosity and cute but
Get tired of things quickly.

Yes, it's a cat that loves to pretend to be food. This tickles every stupid love of Japanese culture that I could possibly harbour. If you haven't seen the dizzy heights that plush food can hit, there are a crapload of goods to drool at just over there.

Unfortunately the general quality of San-X goods means that everything to do with Nyanko is hella expensive, but I can wait. (You have no idea how close I was to buying the Nyanko tempura with my last J-list order...) I dearly want the party set, the dumpling set and the desserts. Aiiieeee.

Nyanko is also a major inspiration for SBM's Tabeshounen, which you may hear more about soon enough!

Actually, being bored at a web design orientation and drinking waaaay too much tea during seminars was my major inspiration for drawing Tabeshounen...

The original was "Tea Bag Boy" :D

but this works too XD;;
