24 inches
behold, in all its glory….
24 inches of SOF’ BOY!
it’s fancy, with a hefty $130 pricetag and limited edition status (only 200 pieces total). the last thing i need is another “collectible” or “toy,” especially since i’m so over it (and by “it” i mean boutique vinyl bullshit).
BUT, it’s so purdy, it practically glows! sof’ boy is one of my all-time favorite characters, created by one of my all-time favorite artists/musicians/ubertalented folks – archer prewitt. the charmingly repulsive (and vice versa) comic series details the rambunctious adventures of a happy-go-lucky lovable blob who’s got shit luck, and always manages to elicit maniacal laughing from yours truly. sadly, it’s created at an agonizing slow-as-molasses pace (i believe there are only three or four issues total).
back to the topic of toys, there’s more…12 inch versions of the coctails. can’t say i’m a huge fan of the way these look, but that’s okay. archer designed them, so that’s all that matters.
and because i am a geek of the highest order, i thought i’d take a moment to celebrate my love for sof’ boy, archer, and the sea + cake with this unabashed moment of glee:

Wow, could you look any happier?! I think I see a solar flare on your smile. JESUS GOD…
Sof’Boy is great, though. What a talented fucker that guy is!

wait… isn’t 24 inches pretty fucking tall?? that would be AWESOMELY CREEPY (and vice versa) to have in your crib…
think about it as only $5.40 per inch of fun!
that dude is pretty darn impressive. and presspop is great. i got a humble jim woodring print for alice from them, and it came in really spiffy packaging

how cute, you both left smiley faces! note derek’s larger creepier smile.
presspop is awesome. i love all their sof’ boy merch.
$5 per inch of fun is one way of looking at it.

I didn’t know the Pillsbury dough boy and Caspar had a love child. Not to cast aspersions on your all-time favs.
If only it were made of pure marshmallow, and you could roast it on a baseball bat, then spread him on a 10 lb slab of TJ’s Belgian chocolate… ooh, so rich and thick and goooey. That’s what I expect from 24 inches.

Or, if 3.5″ will do you well enough:

If the current rate for fun is $5/inch, then I think Anthony owes me about ten bucks in change for the other night…

sister!! wOW, everything looks so amazing in China. The food looks to die for !!! Luck you! you are so amazing for doing this all on your own!!! I can just imagine how scary it must be at times. In Barcelona, at times, I felt so alone and vulnerable. Other times, I felt liberated, refreshed, and beautiful that I could travel all on my own. GOOD FOR YOU!!!
PLEASE EAT FOR ME!!! I’M TRAVELING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU!!! THE CLOSEST I CAN GET TO EATING THE WAY YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IS COOKING MYSELF SOME RAMEN. MAN…IT LOOKS SO AWESOME SIS! GOOD FOR YOU!

OMY…WHAT IS HAPPENING YOUR PICTURES? is there some kind of construction worker riot or something? Looks super intense . I sometimes feel like China/Taiwan are epicenters for political, social, and economic up heavals or riots. For real!!! I’m so happy you are doing your thang. I’m so PROUD of big sissy!!! I love you!!!!

Your airport food looks bomb. I never really had airport food like that. Did you get to watch movies??? On the plane??? Did you go clubbing ever? Any cute men?? Sigh. I have so much to tell you sissy!!! I love you so much and miss you SSSOOOOOO much. I wish I could have gone. That would have been fun wouldn’t it? Sister and I on our own little adventure!!! You know, the day you left I got hit with dysthymia. Man do I miss you!!! I miss your voice and the way you would wake me up from my worried state of mind. “Oh Christina, come on, what the f’, please… It’s not that big of a deal.” I also love when you always remind me not to “Study so hard” & “Grades don’t matter” when clearly that’s exactly what you did at CAL: Study too hard and worried about grades.
Oh sissy, I miss and love you!!!!

Okay, what the hell is SOF’ Boy? I’m gonna google that shit and it better dramatically improve my life because I need some improvement. Anyway, I’m really enjoying your pictures, you are so lucky to get away from this place that holds me captive.
I wish I was in China
