I really like the Hello Kitty face mask. I think everyone will be wearing them at the next big SARS outbreak. Or maybe we should wear them whenever we’re in a large group of people, just to be safe. I saw this article earlier via newsvine, and my favorite comment was that the guy was really just wearing a pair of women’s underwear.
It’s truly odd that Jeff would post a Garfield comic on the site. We met each other at Ball State, a scant few miles from Albany, where PAWS Inc. is located.
Like a large number of people I used to really enjoy Garfield, but that was before I grew out of his target audience. I’m often disconcerted by Garfield, to be honest. Jim Davis hasn’t drawn a line in the comic for about 20 years now. If I recall correctly, that isn’t even his signature anymore. What Davis does now is run the company. And I guess that’s fine as long as what you want is a string of *ahem* quality products to buy.
I do have to give Davis some credit, though. He is very active in environmental affairs and he walks the walk in that respect. On the PAWS property he maintains a wetland and incorporates a number of Environmental Management strategies to make it as low impact as possible. And that’s pretty good for a stinking capitalist.
Tune in tomorrow for our first “ask a trucker” segment. Come prepared to be astonished.

When I backtracked to the photo of the masks, I was a little sad.
I had this mental image of thousands of people, thronging the sidewalks of Tokyo wearing full-faced masks shaped like Hello Kitty heads. It was a really surreal, somewhat frightening mental image. Imagine the last scene from “V for Vendetta,” but instead of Guy Fawkes masks, everyone’s wearing their Sanrio finest. Creepy, no?
