Chapter: COMICS

I think Shigeru Miyamoto is my favorite person in the whole world.

He’s like a wizard, except his power is smiling.

Have a great week,

Oh and if you were wondering, this is in fact a sequel to that old Miyazaki comic I did!

Reminds me of a certain Nightmare Shark episode that’s about to go up this week.

Old Japanese Myth: Raccoons had the magical ability to transform into anything, by putting a leaf on its forehead. Hence the connection between the leaf and raccoon

I love the fact that the actual explanation is weirder than this comic.

There’s some confusion on the issue, actually. When it’s a full suit, it’s a tanooki, when it’s just the tail and ears, apparently it’s a racoon suit? – http://www.mariowiki.com/Raccoon_Mario.

The main point is that it’s all INCREDIBLY WEIRD

Oh wow! Good to know there’s actually a reason. Although I believe the myth refers to Tanukis and not raccoons.

It was the 80s. It was probably designed as Tanuki in Japan and then changed to Raccoon for the American release. He just never looked like a Raccoon to me.
