Meanwhile, over at the Cute Lab
It's funny that we've only had ONE entry in the 'Cartoons' section of this site — UNTIL TODAY! Super fine illustrator Dan Sipple sent in this delightful Cuteologist cartoon; the Cuteologist is rating the 'Pawsitude of a potential subject" in the Cute Lab.
Of course he chose a Marmelade kitteh. The green skin is sweet, too.
XOXOXO, Dan! [Yes, he's the same guy as the ad on the right!]

marmelade kitteh!!!!!
All these rules of cuteness: big head/teeny body (girl AND kitteh!) - paws up - small ear:head - beady eye factor ----- CUTE!!! &:o)
.......do I dare say "FIRST POST!!!"??? (anybody???)
prosh
Is that you, Meg? ;-)
Even the cuteologist has a small ear-to-head ratio. This guy thinks of everything.
I like how the kitteh and the girl have coordinating hair.
Ooooohh that little kitteh so wants to win. Love that her hair matches marmalade's.
how [bleeping] adorable. reminds me (slightly) of the PowerPuff Girls.
way to go, Dan!
Personally, I think the green skin counts against her. It looks either unhealthy or ogre-ish.
Loves it. Green skin and all.
Maybe she's a Martian Cuteologist.
If she an alien cuteologist, she's certainly found the dominant life form.
D000d -- there's a LAB in the Space Needle?! I am *sooo* there.
it's not green. it's 'olive skin' which is very mediterranean and pretty
Olive? Or pistachio? :)
Way prosh!
Love the glasses, I knew girls with glasses were cute, especially if she just has them on to look smart! Beauty and brains!
incradibley clever!!!
incradibley cute!
That´s cute, not the freakish pictures of that horrible dog smothering the baby.
Man, that's fantastic, go Dan! :D
grazie, dwine! Sei giusto, certo! ;-)
LOVE it!
I want Dan to do more t-shirts!
and in regular people sizes! ;-)
*you're welcome Jaypo
*thanks, msumisso, that's certainly true! ;-)
Mariser -- you're right, there *is* something Blossom about that lab tech.
Wups. No idea how I'd know that.
"No idea how I'd know that"
perhaps you have been influenced by certain schmoop-lets?
That's DEFINITELY it.
Uh...yeah. Regular people sizes are great.
Not everyone is a small or a medium :(
Somma us got a badunkadunk, whatever that is.
w00t. Loveitloveitloveit!
See the reason she has green skin is: (shimmer fade into scene from the past) As Meg was beginning her Cuteologist career, many other scientists were jealous of her repetitive exposure to marmalade kittens, bunnies, hammies, puppies and all other sorts of adorable cuteness. One day Dr. Taco, her arch nemesis decided that if he couldn't have some of the cute action then no one would, so he plotted to build a ray gun that would make sweet cuteologist Meg, as green on the outside as he felt on the inside in hopes that the animals and her colleagues would all run away in horror allowing him to take over the project... and the ray gun worked. Unfortunately what Dr. Taco didn't account for was the unconditional love of the cute little animals and the acceptance of Meg's fellow cuteoligists about the condition. Instead of making her the outcast he merely allowed her to stand out in a crowd, a lovely shade of green that set off her hair and pretty pink bow. In the end Dr. Taco went back to his boring work never understanding the power of the cute and Meg continued her work by spreading her findings to the rest of the world via an online site called Cute Overload.com. And the world was a better place for it.... the end.
I love the cutologist's inquisitive eyebrows. I can almost *hear* the "Hmmmm.... FAScinating!"
hehe great story, M! Totally love the cartoon - I'd buy a t-shirt of that! Look at that marmelade kitty - totally trying to earn more points with paws-up.
Pawsitude?? Oh good grief, someone just shoot me now. That is too cute...too CUTE! For the love!! DEF got instant glucose-intolerance from the sweet cuteness of this post. Good job on the cartoonage.
Loving it! :)
Not just any pawsitude... paws-UPPITUDE.
lol M! But... we haven't 'unshimmered' from the past yet... we're stuck! Stuck in the past i tells ya! Flares! Sneakers! Hasselhoff's hair! Aaaaa! ::flails::

M- fabulous bedtime story. Can someone tuck me in now?
Folks? Sorry, my inner proofreader is going itchy. Altho I risk (probably justifiable) criticism for being pedantic, may I point out that it is spelt "marmAlade", not "marmElade".
