The Brave Little Toaster tankōbon illustrations
These are the gorgeous illustrations from the Japanese hardcover of The Brave Little Toaster. The character designs are very similar to the original versions drawn by Karen Lee Schmidt for the English/French language publications. Even so, I think this the most beautiful the story has ever looked…There’s something wonderfully haunting and evocative about these illustrations; and the lack of anthropomorphic features on the Appliances adds something new! Probably the spookiest version of the Toaster and friends scaring the Junk Pirate. And hooray for more cute Swap Shop Kittens! Also, both Japanese editions feature a picture of the moment when the Radio spies a fox. (Interestingly, the new vacuum cleaner in the City Apartment is shown as an upright model, unlike its counterpart in the paperback bunko, and in the movie- both of which are canister vacuums with hoses! Or a hamburger bun on wheels, as Disch describes it in the book!)

The Deluxe Bachelor Pad edition with the combo sink-toilet didn’t sell as well as hoped. Many customers didn’t see the need for the extra expense.

Quoted tags:
#I forget anything in the back of my fridge #and/or hurt myself trying to reach on a bad pain day
Indeed. And, being a wheelchair user, my reach to the back of the fridge is even more limited, since I have to park alongside the door, and lean sideways to reach anything.
The only thing I'd worry about with the design shown is stuff falling off the back of the shelves to someplace even more inaccessible.

The Brave Little Toaster, paperback bunko illustrations!
There have been three Japanese editions of Thomas M Disch’s original ‘The Brave Little Toaster’ novella. One was published in the magazine of Sci Fi and Fantasy, there was also this illustrated paperback bunko, and a tankōbon hardcover which used character designs similar to Karen Lee Schmidt’s art from the 1980 Doubleday/Grafton pressing. The artwork in this paperback is especially cute! I love the depiction of the old and new appliances gathered in the city apartment, and the master and mistress meeting the Swap Shop kittens ☺️

Perfect for those housewives who want the cleaning power of modern design and all the inconvenience of classic technology in one machine.

The fact that it works is great - but at 100 years old I wouldn't even consider plugging it in!
