An Animated Quarter Century

According to Kotaku, May 21 was the 25th birthday of the animated GIF, those grainy silent loops that turn your computer into a 100-year-old penny arcade. And what better way to celebrate than with some loopy animal hijinks?

This Week in Cute History

725 BCE: Greek soldiers secretly invade Troy by hiding under the Trojan Rat.


I always thought it was a rabbit, Jessica.

Please, Sir, I Want More.

Even though there is still a bit left on my plate. Once I eat that bit, my plate will be empty and that makes me woeful.


Wouldn’t want this little guys to get thin all over and twist in the breeze, would we, Sophia P.?

Breakfast of cHAMpions!

You better eat your blorpberries so you can grow up to be big and strong like Lillian here.

You might also get your picture on Cute Overload!

Gee, that’s just swell, Erin M.!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Moms are sweet and strong. They can lift you up when you’re low.


Even when she’s real tired, she’s as fun as an amusement park.


Moms offer shelter when you’re feeling a little unsure.


So, say it with me, HURRAY FOR MOMS!


For all moms by Mike Baird, Tim Parkinson, fung.leo and Heather N. and Dan.

Don’t Get Carried Away

Aw, hammies love blorpberries in the morning. And lunchtime and snack time and dinner and, well, then they have to be carried away.


We thought wheels made hamsters go ’round, Serena G.

With the coming of spring, your ratties should now be large enough to transplant into separate pots.

Hamventure

It all started one spring morning when young Hamkid set off in search of new adventures.


It didn’t take long before Hamkid was slightly startled by a Gentle Giant.


Oh please don’t eat me Gentle Giant!


To his great surprise the Gentle Giant gently set Hamkid upon its knee and offered him a snack.


It was then Hamkid understood the Gentle Giant was also young and looking for new adventures.

Hamkid realised out of all the adventures he could have, none would be as great as sharing them with a giant friend!

So they headed off together, to see what more was waiting for them over the horizon.


Boog and Hannah W. were last seen gadding about somewhere in Wisconsin!
