the noble platypus


My cousin, Christina, started this AWESOME website, Noble Platypus. As she puts it, "Popular Culture really can churn out some interesting kinds of characters. Why not use this silly creature to celebrate all these oddities and stereotypes that flood our life experiences." And that is exactly what she has done, by turning the platypus into a colourful canvas and painting a very vivid picture of how weird our culture/lifestyles/world can be. I love browsing through all the different characters. The Noble Platypus reminds me to see the humour in our mainstream culture. So often I get really stressed out about some aspect of our world. There's nothing like a platypus to cheer you up!
