Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Figurines of Cats Wrapped in Sushi
 |
You know, I see these Japanese vending machine toys of cats as sushi, and all comedy suddenly escapes me.
What possible humor could I find in the notion of eating pussycats?
Where’s the hilarity in pussycats smelling like raw fish? Pawing raw tuna?
Is it ironic that cats like to eat fish, and are now being prepared like fish? That seems like a silly reason to make such a juxtaposition! Wouldn’t they get hair in your mouth?
There must be a joke there, but I just can’t find it.
