SOCHI REMEMBERED
It's been so hot lately, over 100 degrees F. for over a week, that I couldn't help but think back to last winter when Catman and Super Sumie traveled to Sochi, Russia, for the Winter Olympics.

CATMAN: THE ULTIMATE BATTLE
This cartoon series originally appeared on August 13, 2013, at a time when the Republicans were threatening to shut down the government...again! Naturally, Catman was at the forefront of the fight against the "Repub's" leader, Congressman John Boehner, also known as the insideous "Orangeman" - Catman's arch-enemy.
The final showdown, the ultimate battle between good and evil. Catman, plucky, furry, flea-bitten caped crusader for truth, justice, and cheaper tuna, risks everything to once and for all rid America of the king of obstructionism - Orangeman - and once again make the world safe for democracy.
Catman Comix, in association with Kitty Mafia Art Worx now presents the superhero of superheroes in the blockbuster graphics event: CATMAN V. THE INSIDIOUS ORANGEMAN - THE ULTIMATE BATTLE!
After having been threatened by Orangeman with his “ultimate weapon,” our intrepid caped crusader returned to his secret lair on the West Coast, sequestered deep within Alcatraz Island, intent on developing the ultimate counter to his arch-nemesis’ threat. Convinced that he now had his own “ultimate weapon,” the side-handled, cat’s paw tonfa, perfect for the ultimate “neko-punch,’ one which would certainly defeat Orangeman, Catman has returned to the skies above our nation’s capital, seeking to end this villain’s reign of terror and obstruction, not to mention bad cosmetics.
Patiently he cruises over the city, back and forth between the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Memorial. He cruises the FBI building, the CIA, the Smithsonian, and even the Boy Scouts of America Headquarters, but not a trace of the evil Orangeman. Deciding he has “holed-up” in his seat of power, Catman makes for the Capitol Building, confident that Orangeman lurks within, abusing his power and not taking care of the nation’s business.
But the Caped Kitty is certain that justice will ultimately triumph and that he alone can right the wrongs that have been wrought; at last liberating the “land of liberty” from his enemy’s evil clutches.
Our valiant, daring, courageous caped crusader spots his quarry, deep within the House Chamber, seated on high on his pernicious podium, wielding his gavel of gratuities, his mallet of malevolence, his hammer of something-something.
It’s a hard-fought battle, turning the normal sleepy, quiet, tranquil House Chamber into a war zone. There are casualties and collateral damage. Catman will always feel just a bit sorry that Nancy Pelosi got caught up in the fray — but sacrifices must be made — can’t cry over spilt milk…well, milk…yes you can!
Unscathed, the heroic Catman savors the agony of his arch-nemesis, Orangeman, now “Greenman.” Once again justice has triumphed and Washington is safe for democracy.
His enemy vanquished, Catman returns to his secret tower high on Alcatraz Island, safe in the middle of San Francisco Bay, hidden from men’s minds by the thick, pea soup fog that lingers there. Still he is aware that his job is not done. There are still even bigger fish to fry — maybe tuna!

THE THREE POVERTY SPIRITS: BIN, BO & GAMI
(From March, 10, 2014)
APRIL 1 IS CREEPING UP ON US but there’s still time to pre-order your official Japanese poverty spirit, Binbogami. And like the man says, if you call right away, you will get not one, not two, but three fully qualified, cute, furry Japanese poverty spirits ~ Bin, Bo, and of course, little Gami. Imagine the fun you’ll have. Tired of trying to keep up with your neighbors? Here’s your chance to do them one better! What could be better than three poverty spirits. So call now. Why, they’ll even bring their own possessions with them in an official “homeless sack,” including some old fish bones, a bag of dried bonito flakes, and some rocks and weeds for stone soup! Call early! Call often! Call now!

ABENOMICS AND BINGOGAMI
Binbogami is the Japanese poverty kami or spirit. On March 9, as a sizeable increase in the consumption tax beginning on April 1 faced the Japanese people, we decided to make our own little comment about Abenomics. "Pre-order yours now! Avoid the rush! We have ours!

A MESSAGE FROM SUPER SUMIE TO THE PEOPLE OF FUKUSHIMA:
A tsunami deprived people of their lives, homes, money, etc. But a tsunami cannot deprive a person of their inborn gifts, knowledge, or the ideas that they hold within their minds. Many people have had to relocate and take shelter in uncomfortable surroundings in the Fukushima region. Some people have been cut off from their subsidies by TEPCO ~ a senior citizen on a pension of only ¥40,000 a month cannot buy much food: not even a simple meal sometimes.
I made a cooking art group about 3 years ago in Japan. Now we have 12 members
Our purposes are:
1. To make something tasty by using chap foodstuffs and at the same time to make our families smile.
2. To have fun making food that is easy to prepare.
This year, I, who iz Super Sumie, made dolls for the Girl’s Festival on March 3 – of all things out of eggplants.
I hope someone who lives in Fukushima will see this note and these photos of my cooking, and that they will make that person smile, even if it is only just for a moment.
