Haiku Hump Day: Cartoon Animals (aka Actually Animals from any form of Fiction)

Remember how after the post-Horrorthon HHD haitus we returned with topics about our lives and our experiences instead of random slices of the vast, ever-expanding media grid? Well, the leering Great Dane above is here to tell you it's all over.

Once again I'm opening the floodgates of your brain bones to wax wise about things we've seen on screens. But the topic is both titles, I just had to lead with "Cartoon Animals" because it sounds cool.

We here at Octocorp are accepting live-action animals, puppets animals, people-in-costume animals, whatever. (Just as long as they come from something made up, because real life puppets freak me out.)

And don't forget books! Our animal friends have been on our minds since we could bust out cave paintings. Heck, go all the way back to the Trojan Horse if you like, although I'll remind you that horse wasn't real, as it was made of wood and guys.

Of course it took the twentieth century's advent of cutting edge technology to really expose the deep, primal connections between the human psyche and our fuzzy, feathery, scaley or exoskeleton-y friends. You can see why I lead from there.

"The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to Take Over the World." Dang if that isn't just the best catch phrase ever.

If it moves and it ain't wearing orange, shoot it. With poetry bullets.

Gimme some 'kus, foos!
