Cute comics, not matter what it says - Kawaii Not Comics
By Joyce Yung. Originally published by Tamiko on schemamag.ca in 2006
This is one of my favorite posts from the Schema archives. I think of it as "happy-face 2.0" Even years later, they still make me laugh (haha!). How Tamiko ever found this remains a mystery.
Kawaii is Japanese for "cute," but when you add "not"...you get Kawaii Not , the 4-panel webcomic of typical everyday things doing and saying not-so-cutesy stuff. Artist Meghan Murphy may not like the kawaii, but it looks like she's influenced by the kawaii-ness of Japanese design...You'll find cupcakes ("I think I have diabetes"), clouds ("I crap rainbows"), stars ("I'm hot and full of gas"), gingerbread man ("When I dream I bite your head off first"), chocolate swirl icecream ("I look like poop"), among other items like marshmallows, pancakes, and more.
