Unrelated to anything: If you haven’t been keeping up with the Japanese children’s market–and I’m guessing that damn few of you have–you should know that there’s a relatively new line of characters being marketed by a company called San-X, and they’re pretty friggin’ surreal. It looks like the company’s a spin-off of Sanrio, but the only info I can find is in Japanese, so I can’t tell. All’s I know for sure is that Ken and His Musical Afro are really disturbing.
