Domokun died at Target. Hit by a bus and left for dead. Imagine, licensee. I got the Domokun license… Chaching! We’re going to blow it out as fast as possible because our license will expire. It’s as if we’re going to make the Roger Corman Fantastic Four film! So Domokun, the NHK character is now at Target, and exploited just for the Halloween section. Take a look at what came out of this. This is looking terrible. It doesn’t even look like Domo. I wonder if this candy tastes like Cola. If it does, then just maybe it’ll get a pass on candy alone. Look at the mouth. It’s as if Domokun is foaming. It’s eyes look like toasted sesame seeds. Candy Corn? Domo eats candy corn? Tattoo that one on your chest. It’s not a good thing at all. Domo pinata. Bad. Bad. Bad. What happened to 3d? This is two pieces of cardboard, and crappy tissue paper sides. My fart would rip open. Domokun on a broom? It’s way over. Have your own Domo mouth. This is a poor excuse for a product. It looks like someone sat on it. Domokun candy. More candy that looks like Domokun stood outside during a nuclear melt down. A mummy and Frankenstein done Domokun. Who designed this stuff? A misshapen Domokun hangs from the ceiling with an eyepatch, just so you’d think he’s a pirate. This was the only item I thought was cute. Bracelets of candy with Domokun. Someone out there will buy this and that someone will think that Domokun is pretty lame. They’ll think that Target invented this character. It’s also interesting how it’s just Domo. Maybe it’s because it’s almost like the brands, people, and label: Lomo (camera), Homo (the great label), Tomo (a hotel in SF – yea I worked on that), Nomo (Baseball pitcher), and Romo (the QB of the Cowboys).

I heard a rustle and I heard some scratching sounds. I'm in the middle of deadlines, you know? Just doing my thing. I can hear it go on, and I don't want to get up. I'm in a groove. It keeps going, so it's time to see. Is it a gigantic Possum? I'm seen em and they make a lot of noise, but no, it's a Chinese lady and she's in a very far corner in my neighbor's yard, using a rake to steal MY...
I heard a rustle and I heard some scratching sounds. I’m in the middle of deadlines, you know? Just doing my thing. I can hear it go on, and I don’t want to get up. I’m in a groove. It keeps going, so it’s time to see. Is it a gigantic Possum? I’m seen em and they make a lot of noise, but no, it’s a Chinese lady and she’s in a very far corner in my neighbor’s yard, using a rake to steal MY avocados. She’s probably 50 or 60, I don’t know her name, but she doesn’t live next door, in fact, she came by the other day, and I thought she was my neighbor’s friend, but it turns out, she’s just some random person trespassing very deep in my neighbor’s yard. See the space between the wall and the fence? It’s not large, and she was jammed up in there. So, the result. Harsh Chinese words spewed out by my g/f who tells her that you can’t just bust into a back yard, you can’t steal, you can’t be there… all in Mandarin. If she asked, she would have received, but she chose to steal instead. The woman speaks Cantonese and keeps speaking in Cantonese, but she knows Mandarin and says she won’t be back. I know the appeal of avocados, and I also know thieving and trespassing. My neighbor’s had her bike stolen from her backyard once, and it’s amazing how people feel comfortable to just go back there and take shit. I guess I need to make a Do Not Steal Avocados in Chinese now to add to the English, Japanese, and Spanish.
