Yesterday, I came across this post about Jimothy, something of a celebrity here in Seattle. The official description of him is simply that he’s a “deformed and belovedly bedraggled raccoon”. Perhaps he’s something of a mutant. I’m no biologist, so we’ll leave it there for now.
For me, though, the most delightful part of the story was brought about by Matt Inman (of the Oatmeal…yeah, I have a well-documented love for his work) this morning.

Ah, I thought it was perfect! Jimothy has made it as a Seattle cultural icon!
So, I hope that this gives you a positive energy boost to launch you into the weekend.
