Check out the Up Late post for the last animation I posted from the same artist. This one involves the same cat trying to get in through a door.
I’m definitely not showing these clips to our kittens. hmmm, when are they kittens no longer, but cats? Ours are 18 months old now. Anyway, we have already had to start putting tin foil on top of a door that Karra uses to leap frog onto a kitchen unit top. She gets stuck up there, and other than the obvious worry of her getting hurt, there are also a lot of crystal wine and shot glasses on the same unit.
My lessons for the rest of this week were cancelled on Wednesday, as the student is busy organizing his relocation to Moscow. This means less money coming in, so I have tried to catch up with a few more sponsored posts. Karra and Muska are a little confused, as since I started giving conversational English classes, my bed times had been closer to midnight than 6am. They have wandered in and out of the living room a few times, demanding strokes, and eventually giving up, to return to the bedroom. Hopefully they’ve not woken Irina up.
Anyway, the following animation was posted to my Facebook funwall, it portrays one cat’s not so subtle attempts to wake its owner.
I think I will check for any blunt objects near the bed before sleeping tonight
No, my keyboard is not broken, nor am I falling asleep on it. Far from it in fact, as watching this animation is definitely not a good way to get to sleep - there is just too much going on.
In the same way as The Simpsons, Family Guy & Futurama, BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBo (yes, I had to triple check the spelling of it ) is primarily aimed at children, but has enough ‘in-jokes’ to keep any adult’s attention who are watching. Unlike the previously mentioned toons, this one is drawn in something similar to the Japanese ‘Anime’ style. Whilst this is not likely to put off younger viewers, those who have not grown up with this approach to cartoons may need to take a while to settle into it. It is worth the investment of your time though, as so many up and coming cartoons borrow heavily from this genre, if they are not produced over there in the first place.

The actual cartoon itself is something you will either click with quite quickly, or just as happily leave on for your children, and get on with other things. That said, other than the potential gross-ness of nasal hair and snot, there is no content I could find that was actually unsuitable for young people. If you would like to find out more, before deciding whether or not to purchase the dics, you should check out the Official Website.
From the episode I saw, there were scenes that had a cult-ish like group of bald people developing a beam that causes baldness. A bit of an issue if the hero has nasal hair almost 2 metres long! As far as I could tell, this show is presented in its original form, unlike the G-Force series I remember from the early 80s, when a Western company simply bought the rights to an Eastern animated series, and chopped up parts from multiple episodes to create entirely new stories. As my Japanese runs out after 2 words, I can’t tell how faithful the translation was, but they did at least make sense, unlike some poorly translated series I used to see on Channel 4 in the 90s.
Anyway, check out the site, and see for yourself if you would like to watch this cartoon. Let me know what you think…
I was recently (Ok, a while ago now, I’m a little behind with my ‘For Follow Up” e-mails) contacted by a school friend I hadn’t heard from in about 20 years, through FriendsReunited.
He is an artist, and has his own site - DailyDale.
