They've had many lives and many ages: cats I've met in my time travels.

Some are dancing, some are giant, some sing, and others rain down: vintage frogs and toads.

I remain baffled and disturbed by the sheer number of people who genuinely believe a zoo animal can survive, let alone thrive, in the wild. Animals that are bred for reintroduction programs are handled completely differently than general collection animals, and even with all that preparation, many will not make it. To think a random animal in a zoo can be set loose and do just fine is more ignorant than I can comprehend.

"Freedom" is a human concept. And projecting your very human desire for freedom onto animals is one of the most gross froms of anthropomorphism.

Cadavre exquis (Exquisite Corpse), Valentine Hugo, André Breton, Nusch and Paul Éluard, c. 1930

In their pre-existing desire for character composition, the drawings obeying the Exquisite Corpse technique have, by definition, the effect of bringing anthropomorphism to its height and prodigiously accentuating the life of relationship that unites the external and internal worlds.

André Breton, Le Surréalisme et la Peinture

My opinion on what The Amazing Digital Circus characters would look like as anthropomorphic animals!🤩

I won’t be listing Jax since he’s already one.

Caine—>cat (because c is for cat!🐱)

Pomni—> Pomeranian dog breed

(because the name Pomni sounds like the name of the Pomeranian dog breed)

Kinger—> lion (because lions are king of the jungle!😏)

Ragatha—>Ragdoll cat breed (because Ragathas a ragdoll)

Zooble—> bee (because Z is the sound of a bees buzz)

(even though bees are actaully insects of course!)

Gangle—> snake

(probably because she’s a ribbon and ribbons are like snakes I guess…)
