This might be one of my favorite notes of all time, and it's based on one of my least favorite movies of all time - Superman III.

This Butt Week doodle needs some explaining...
For the past year or so, I've kept seeing cute animal butts featured as fashion-forward designs - from this item I picked up in my Love Nikki tablet game, to this Neko Atsume phone charm at AnimeNEXT (yes I bought it and it's currently on my phone), to these cat butt coasters on Etsy, to this set of cat butt magnets, to merch from my fave webcomics artists. It seems like animal butt motifs are on trend as the newest craze, bridging that fine line between adorable and edgy. I decided, though, that there wasn't enough variety in the products offered. Where were the fish butts, the dragon butts, the bear butts? This note corrects that oversight. [digital drawing of 8 cartoon animal butts including a bear, horse, deer, fish, and dragon] [digital drawing of a fish that looks like it is 100% done with everyone and everything - the physical embodiment of a sigh. Text reads "Blub, indeed."]
Okay, that's the last of the "specifically drawn to be annoying" posts. There are still a few digital notes lined up for this week, but they are regular weird as opposed to desktop-clutter weird.
As a palate-cleanser, here are a few pictures from our first "Fishmas" celebration. We've had Chintzy Blue, our belovedly-tacky Christmas tree, for almost a decade now, but in 2015 we finally decided to use its color to full advantage and adopt an underwater theme for our holiday decor. I handmade the starfish tree topper, which, while thematically appropriate, isn't quite as fun as either the "dead Harry Potter angel" I previously made out of cut paper, or the "Dr. Wily with floating coat action" figurine we used for the first few years. [photo of Chintzy Blue lit up. Along with the starfish topper, it has a "sand" tree skirt adorned with collected shells, and various fish, boat, penguin, buoy, lure, seahorse, and stingray ornaments] This note was motivated by my husband's response in this GameCola article, as well as his current playthrough of Tomb Raider 3.
I asked my husband what he wanted for a note, and he said "something aesthetically pleasing." I translated that to mean "anatomically inaccurate mermaid."
What? You want a bad Wolverine joke? Well I aim to please...
Does no one else think of these things? I'm playing as a cat, who is wearing armor made from fish-people. It's obviously food.
My husband and I watched A Fish Called Wanda for the first time a few months ago. I was kind of scarred by the live-fish-eating scene.
