Hey Neil, this is how you shoot a raccoon

Not literally shoot—I mean photograph.

Hugo award-winning snorglable author and panda feeder Neil Gaiman has been trying to get our attention for MONTHS and finally did it with his recent raccoon photo shoot.

This isn't that shoot by the way.

Neil's shoot doesn't have a behbeh raccoon overhead OR one with a mini Gorilla-paw.

Neil's shoot doesn't paws up or stubbular ears.

Gaiman-LOVE his stuff.
And now, to find out that he's a mooshball with critters?
He's achieved God like status now....:)

Neil Gaiman! Pandas! Baby raccoons! ALL my favorite things* in ONE POST! My worlds collide; my head asplodes.

Wow - what a great idea.... wish I'd have thought of it ;)

Absolutely made my YEAR!!!! I've mentioned in posts before that I raised orphan baby racoons every year in SC under the watchful eye of a little old rehab lady. It's a religion like experiece. So glad to see the bandits - miss them terribly up here near Chicago. Seems people don't think the orphans are worth saving......

 |  Jun 25, 2008 at 06:09 AM

Ha! Nice pics, Neil. But what happened to the little raccoons? Did you wait for their mother to come back, or did you return inside? Maybe you got your panda step-child to go look after them...

Naturally, the photos in this CO post are also blindingly cute.

Yeesh, would you two get a room?

Everyone knew that girl named Lil as Nancy, Berthaservant ;)

"The dog startled sleeping raccoons this morning. The mother scampered off leaving two small grumble-whistly balls of cuteness."

From his webpage - absolute best description of babeh racoons ever!

Eeee! Neil on CO! Finally! I think I submitted the him-with-a-panda pictures way back. So glad they made it on here regardless!

Also? Eeee! Bebe 'coons! ^_^ There was a lady who owned a frame shop when I was little who had a pet raccoon that she'd bring to the store with her. And she always let me play with the little cutie.

Rocky Raccoon
Checked back in his room,
Only to find Gideon's Bible.
Gideon checked out,
But he left it, no doubt,
To aid in poor Rocky's revival.

Love the hovertext on the first pic. I actually did rotate my head...in my office...like an idiot. An idiot drunk on the potent combination of cuteness and one of the best authors in the world!

Yes, Neil Gaiman is very much snorgalable.

I've met Neil Gaiman as his daughter and I attended the same school. But now - even more respect, as I see he admires cute overload AND raccoons.

Awesome.

Katina
 |  Jun 25, 2008 at 09:26 AM

I'm sorry - the raccoons are cute, but the pics of Neil with the Panda on his lap - priceless!!

Rooanne
 |  Jun 25, 2008 at 09:33 AM

Cosmic, just cosmic. Mr. Gaiman is a genius and a half.
What a combination, thank you, Meg and Teho and NTMTOM, I am really especially enjoying CO lately!

Hee hee . . . I subscribe to his blog too, and got all giddy when I saw the raccoon post. Actually I get all giddy whenever I see he's posted something, but this one gave me an extra *squee* :)

Maybe the Cute could have a cute guy section of men who like cute, and put Neil in there? It's only fair, what with the cats and racks section.

Melinda

Yet another reason why Neil Gaiman makes me swoon! :D

Laura
