  8. Noelle (the original) says:

    Lil’ Mr. WallabyPants is all: Put me back, put me back, put me baaaack…waaaaaaa Mommy?

  9. Katrina says:

    Porchaby?

  10. carol says:

    I feel the need to snorgle that belly!

  11. Jules says:

    Wallaby pantaloons? Walloons?

    [Yes! FLYING Walloons, even! - Ed.]

  12. Berg says:

    What a great picture! I loves me a wallaby…

  13. AuntieMame says:

    Since my first trip to the porch probably was when I was a baby, no doubt I was crying like one. I wasn’t this fuzzy, though. (But I was pretty cute!)

  14. Noelegy says:

    At first glance, I thought, “Wouldn’t the world be better if we all had a hand to hold onto,” but then I realized I was looking at it all wrong. Wouldn’t the world be better if we all had a WALLABY to hold onto?

  15. Chris says:

    love the wallaby “finger shake” LOL

  16. superboymom says:

    That’s it . . . I’m becoming a pick-pocket!

  17. Johanna says:

    This is just too darn sweet.

  18. T.U.M. says:

    I didn’t know they had stripey tum-tums!

    (My first trip to the porch as an infant involved a broken handle on the baby carrier, a roll down the steps into the road, and a trip to the emergency room. But I’m feeling much better now.)

  19. Katrina says:

    Yes, Noelegy, I think it would.

  20. sunnymum says:

    Awwwww, what a prosh pouch bebeh! Lurve the support from the human hand; best way to explore new, somewhat scary things, is with a helping hand. :)

  21. anner says:

    oh! the dainty, uncertain paw! so tentative! so trusting!

    [swoons]

  22. debg says:

    Jules, did you know you were making a history joke? Yep. I’m a professor. Come to me for your useless info, peeps.

    And HonGlad made me spit beverage onto my screen.

  23. Laura says:

    Jules: Wallapalloons?

    AChk!! What a complete and total bebbbeeee! The pantballoons are too much

    [keeled oveeer]

  24. AmyJ says:

    Sweeet! Love the eyelashes. And excellent Onion headline!

  25. emudoug says:

    the first step outside is always the scariest part of the day.

  26. bubbyscranky says:

    Further proof that wallabys are way cuter than kangaroos.

  27. Theo says:

    Hovertext: …is all WHAT?

  28. Mary (the first) says:

    Does the little wallaguy have a stripy-face on his tummy, too, like previous kitteh? or is it just me?

  29. Jezebel says:

    Joey Pants

  30. Decca says:

    No fair! I just checked my porch and it was completely wallaby-free.

  31. Alice says:

    Oh someone needs a hug! I volunteer. I volunteer so much.

  32. Kristabelle says:

    WANT!
    Gimmeegimmeegimmeegimmeeeeeeeeeeee!

  33. Gail (the first one) says:

    Clearly, just like my cousin at age 3 who didn’t want to go in ‘the G-D water’, young Master Wallaby does NOT WANT TO GO ON THE G-D PORCH!

  34. A thinker says:

    aww. I’ll hold your hand, lil’ wallaby-pants.

  35. Kristabelle says:

    BTW, Hon Glad, that was EXCELLENT.

  36. Beth (in NC) says:

    Teho— you are funny…. I think that- I think I like you!

    :D

  37. shahinrani says:

    Aw, little curled hands! Belly fuzz!

  38. MayhemArts says:

    awww…that is the sweetest little wallaby ever. I’ll take 5

  39. wannadance says:

    small critters. want one.

  40. Aoife says:

    For some reason, this little critter reminds me of my cat …

  41. Theo says:

    It’s the tail, right?

  42. berthaservant says:

    I have seen the writing on the wallaby.

  43. Theo says:

    Don’t think I need anything at allaby.

  44. berthaservant says:

    Or, as my friend the greatest east German rock and roller ever might say,

    There ain’t much difference,
    Between a bridge and a wallaby.

  45. Theo says:

    (well I’d say 90 degrees, give or take, is significant)

  46. berthaservant says:

    NO, Theo. It’s a METAPHOR! (Napoleon Dynamite voice) Guy!

  47. jen says:

    awwwwwww! lil cutie

  48. Theo says:

    Bother… never saw Napoleon Dynamite. Netflix time, I guess.

  49. Pixy Misa says:

    Ahem. I call Pocket Pets. :)

  50. olk says:

    put him back in his pouschie before we kiss all his furries offfff! cuuuuutttieee, we love!

  51. Beth (in NC) says:

    DID YOU JUST SAY YOU NEVER SAW NAPOLEON DYNAMITE??

    You must fix that. And soon.

  52. Nik says:

    This little guy is adorable and so scared! I just want to scoop him up and protect him.

  53. Jules says:

    Debg–you must tell me about walloons*! I’m a history buff, but don’t know about such. Help!

  54. chanpon says:

    The wallaby has tyrannosaurus rex hands.

  55. Theo says:

    (*not to be confused with real actual Flying Wallendas)

  57. Jenny Shain says:

    Obviouswy, I am a Veggie Tales fan…
    “It’s a lip, It’s a Lip, it’s a LIP LIP LIP!…
    It’s a Lip, It’s a Lip, It’s a LIP LIP LIP! It’s a LLLIIIPPP! IT’s a LIP LIP LIIIIPPPP!!!!!!!!!”

    Also, I did get mah 2 frwont teef for Chrwismas, but I Hiiiiide dem, cause I’m Cuuuuute like dat.

  58. Michelle says:

    It looks like my kitty her first time on the porch. Her eyes were like, 5X bigger though. Needless to say, she’s an indoor kitty.
    I want a wallaby. =(

  59. Raemie L. says:

    I want to hug this leetle guy. I like the dainty front paws.

  60. edward says:

    I used to have a cat who acted like this. ‘No! The world’s far too big and I am far too small! Treats, please!’

  61. sheepy says:

    i feel like all he needs is an awesome 80s lunchbox and a mommy telling him that he WILL make plenty of friends on his first day on the porch. and maybe some glue and construction paper.

  62. Jomil says:

    OOO look at that teeny little paw and those wide eyes! He’s so scared! “aj, baby- I will make the meanies go away- I promise! You’s safe with me-” and the little thing replies- “you s s ss ure?”

  63. Jules says:

    Theo-Sadly, I think video games are not what the professor had in mind.

  64. Cuddlesbear says:

    That is so cute and endearing! Is this supposed to be a baby wallaby?

  65. Theo says:

    Probably not, Jules. The guy whose sorta-sweetie’s older brother had a “Trash-80″ back in middle school, though — HE was probably talking about the game from the get-go.

  66. titi says:

    this looks like a cross between a kangaroo and a rat

  67. AViewer says:

    This is the cutest little animal ever. I just looked at it and thought, awwwwww. SOOOO sweet. Poor little thing. I want to pick it up and protect it.

  68. spb says:
