In the order of things I love, puppets and food are probably, like, numbers two and four, respectively. Imagine my excitement, then, when I discovered Cakey! The Cake From Outer Space. A fucking cake puppet? Who is best friends with a boy with an accelerated aging disease? Who has a transvestite father (favorite thing number 8)? Man alive! I think I’ve found the best thing ever!

You can watch all seven episodes here. And you probably should.

PES’s animated shorts are always winsome, and his most recent work, Western Spaghetti, is no exception:

Cooking show – awful + Yolk-o Oh No + handmade neon set + puppets + insanity = Thu Tran’s Food Party

Make sure you watch part 2 and part 3.

She’s also got a blog where she shares more ridiculous food love. Like dead cobra whiskey. Yum. And she’s an artist outside of the LSD-fueled food medium. And wouldn’t you know it, that work is great, too. I especially love her intaglio prints. .

Thu Tran may have won me over, but only at the high cost of enforcing my disturbing belief that good things are only coming from Williamsburgians these days. Come on, creative folks in less-fashionable burgs! We shall overcome!
