With 750,000 views it’s likely that many of you readers (does anyone actually read this website?) have seen this, but it really is the best thing ever. And possibly a Japanese relative to Jesus & Moses? Thanks to Scott for sending this over.

I think I should mention that Stewie is my Dad’s cat. He is usually referenced in his letters, which may get a little confusing without explanation.

Found in New York Magazine

Andrew Danahy had posted this on face book, and I couldn’t resist.

I love this Little Kitties music video for New Numbers.

I’m cat sitting Eloise and Otto for the holidays, Eliose (pictured) is a prankster.

 
Here is the beginning of a new section featuring letters from my dad. I typically get a post it note attached to something about once a month. This is the most recent. Please click on the image above to see the contents.

I’m going to see if I can find the one from last month which was full of Obama spirit. Also, though he signs most “Love Mom & Dad”, Mom doesn’t have much to do with it.
Please note: Dad’s return address sticker

I think it’s been weeks, no months since I’ve last posted. The truth is, that I’ve been working, moving into a new studio, and trying to squeeze in some last drops of summer, just to start.

I’m in Paris this week, and I’ve been staying up all night long – romping the streets, nightly, with two friends, glasses of wine and champagne, and a heavy camera making my shoulder hurt. And, finally, I find something to post on chunk again. Some new crazy pastry? some cool boulangerie signage? a curiosity from Clingancourt?

No, no, no.
It’s a story about Men + Cats in the New York Times today.

Not to flood this blog with cat content (but why not, I guess), Phil just informed me that Princess Chunk is actually a boy named Powder. Here he is (via Gothamist) on Regis and Kelly.

While searching for any updates on Princess Chunk, a story of a missing cat, named Dipity, caught my attention. She’s been missing since June 24. Last seen sporting a smashing pink dress in South Edmonton Commons, Canada. It is suspected that Dipity has been snatched up by a young woman disgusted by Dipity’s wardrobe.

“…the kitty, which loves car rides, had squeezed out of her car through a window, while she was in the coffee shop for a business meeting. (Her owner) explained that Dipity — who’s been known to dash from the car — was wearing a pink dress at the time because it makes it easier to spot the grey cat against asphalt.

A witness told Abercrombie that a blonde, petite woman between 17 and 21 years old scooped the cat up, remarked that a feline shouldn’t be wearing a dress, and said she would take the animal to a relative’s farm.”

There is a $1,000 Canadian Dollar reward.
If you think you may have seen her, there is more information about how you can help here.

In the to-good-to-be-true department, a 44 pound tabby cat was found in Blackwood, New Jersey. While officials are perplexed how someone could lose such an enormous cat, we’re excited to hear that the shelter has renamed her “Princess Chunk.”

She might also be moving to a new home in Brooklyn, if she’s not claimed by Saturday. From the article:

“Shelter volunteer Deborah Wright tells The Courier Post of Cherry Hill the cat is built like a quarterback. The cat’s owner has until Saturday to reclaim her. After that, “Chunk” will be eligible for adoption.”

This was my small contribution to the Polaroid Kissing Wall.

Over the past few months (as many of you already know, and as Jacqueline previously posted) we’ve been asking our friends to draw Garfield from memory. This is an ongoing project. Here are the first twenty-six. Thanks to everyone that participated.

Gary and I have teamed up to get as many people as we can to draw Garfield solely from memory.  Our collection has grown enough that it is ready to be seen.  

I’m in Los Angeles until the end of the month.  I was excited to see Suzanne Mejean’s wall adorned with an older photo of mine.
