With the ongoing popularity of the It’s Happy Bunny mugs and t-shirts and other assorted trinkets and doodads, “Cute Gone Bad” is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away.
Thankfully, we have innovators like Meghan Murphy taking this trend in new directions.
Kawaii Not is a relentlessly cute webcomic featuring mundane items like fruits, blank paper, and little clouds saying and doing amusingly naughty things. Whether it’s the burlesque orange peeling off its skin or the blank page taunting you about your deadline, something I’ve come to know quite well of late, you can’t really feel angry or upset by the intensely cute little drawings. With a couple of simple dots for eyes and a thin smile, Murphy’s anthropomorphic things take on a life of their own. Each panel is self-contained and ready for a trinket or a t-shirt of its own.
Kawaii Not is updated twice weekly and with a small archive, it should be a quick and amusing afternoon’s read.
