"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Did you guys ever see Dr Katz, Therapist? It was a cartoon that alternated between the home life of a therapist and his grown son, and his work life with his patients. The patients were all comedians doing their schtick. But I thought the home scenes, between Katz and the lovable deadbeat Benjamin, were the funniest bits.
This is my fave episode, which begins with Benjamin discovering his beloved childhood stuffed bull in the garbage skip! And ends with Dr Katz' shocked realization of just what he's done, while singing on stage. ...And Ray Romano as patient is very funny.
...This is a bit what it's like living with my parents again. A mixture of bickering, good times, and stuffed animals.
My brother pointed these out to me. They're all designed by Native artists. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I have a huge stuffed animal collection and I try to no longer add to it, but OH MY DAYS.
Here's a few, but go see them all! (The whole site has lovely stuff.)
My brother's favorite. He's jolly!
