I love it. The Poke has re-imagined The Mr. Men series and created a new “book” based on the tv show Mad Men. Two retro tastes that taste great together. I hope they actually create the whole series! (Thanks kdiddy and MamaPop!)

This is an outtake from something I designed for a client recently but which has taken on a life of its own here at LEAP. Its a stack ‘a dogs. And it makes us all laugh and laugh and laugh. Now you can laugh with us. Stack. A. Dogs. Stackadogs. Stack. Adogs.
Oh yes. I like it too. See more of Harold’s Planet, and subscribe to their daily cartoon here. And here’s a bonus cartoon for you — my all-time favorite from them:
margi tells people she does “graphic design” for a living, but in reality does “nothing” ………….. Crystal turned me on to the tumblr site hipster puppies today and I cannot stop scrolling. The writing is so perfectly hipster du jour, and the crowd-sourced photos are crazy hilarious. It’s Stupid Pet Tricks meets Chai Lattes. (photo via mark h)
Fantastic snarky letter to James Cameron over at pr*tty sh*tty. Font snobs rejoice! (Thanks Adam)
Andrew McDonald shares his clever idea for avoiding camera loss, or, more precisely, a clever way to get your camera back if you do lose it. See the whole “slideshow” here. (Thanks for the link Gwen!)
Walking to work yesterday I saw this sign posted on the corner of Thomas and Central. I wasn’t sure if it was some sort of guerilla street art campaign, or a for-real recession buster ploy, a la your usual Work from Home! We Buy Houses! schemes. So I googled it, and there’s actually a website! I can’t imagine that the sort of person who has an actual Warhol is also looking at utility poles for ideas on how to get some cash for it, but then again, stranger things have most likely happened.
So real it makes me wonder if they listen in on conversations at our studio. Or, probably your studio too. (Can’t see the video? Watch it here.) ——- Also, the whole site, called Xtranormal, is super cool. You can make your own videos using their scenes, characters, voices, camera angles, actions and more. I made a goofy 30 sec movie to try it out. But please consider yourself warned: it’s extremely goofy. (Also find it here.)
Found these today while looking for new lunchboxes for Zoe and Lucy. I especially love the smoking Kurt Cobain. Perfect for 2nd grade girls. And hooray for a lunchbox I can carry when I’m wearing my back-to-school bacon shoes. Find more here.
