Here’s a picture I drew (… keep reading for an explanation why!):<\/p>\n

Some of you will already know that a couple of years ago, I was at Good One BBQ<\/a> when Greg ordered the Jellyfish Chicken Salad (see this post over at Chow Times<\/a> for a picture). I was very interested in the combination of meats and I mused as to whether some sort of jellyfish\/chicken hybrid could be bred specifically for this dish. This inevitably lead to a t-shirt design<\/a> (which is incidentally available for purchase<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Fast forward to a few months ago in Thailand when my sister was buying up the country’s entire stock (note slight hyperbole here) of Bad Badtz Maru<\/a> character merchandise. I figured that if an angry penguin could become such a big hit (he’s a little maligned compared to other Sanrio characters<\/a>, but still popular enough) then Jellychick should have a chance at stardom!<\/p>\n

My mum, my sister, and Titie Lalita were all skeptical that such an abomination could ever be cute – so I drew this quick conceptual representation on a napkin:<\/p>\n

Looking at that adorable, poorly-drawn face… they became ever so slightly swayed towards believing that Jellychick could have a future in: novelty stationary, stuffed toys, sleeping bags, in-car air-fresheners, and all sorts of other random merchandise! Hopefully with this new image, I’ll have them convinced. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
