Doctor Mew, I Presume
I was a little too young to appreciate Doctor Who as a kid. The BBC sci-fi series kinda creeped me out! But my older brother was a big fan, so I saw my fare share of ’70s-era, scarf-wearing, puffy ‘fro-ing Tom Baker Who.
Since the show first aired in 1963, there have been 11 different renditions of the time-traveling alien Doctor, and now there are cat versions, as well. Introducing Doctor Mew, created by illustrator Jenny Parks.
Read a great interview with Jenny about Doctor Mew and her artwork on Turnstyle.
Limbo Zoo’s Biodegradable Pet Urns
No one wants to think about their beloved pet’s passing, but we all know it’s part of being a pet owner. What do you do with the remains when your pet dies?
