This cartoon is a few years old now, and no sequel is apparent. Too bad! I wanted to see how an alcoholic beetle and a voracious spider did with their love match.

Steve Jobs: 1955-2011
Steve Jobs passed away earlier today. This may not seem like the kind of thing to post on Weird Universe, but consider what kind of place this world would be without him. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created the Apple II, the first home computer many would use, and thanks to this and other innovations like the graphical operating system, the internet friendly iMac, and the always connected iPhone, the world is now fully connected, allowing anyone instant access to the kinds of weird things we here at Weird Universe love. Sure, he didn't create the internet all by himself, but if it weren't for some of the innovations his company pioneered, the world might have turned out to be a much more normal (and boring) place than it is today.

Delightful Stories

Paper Doll
Paper Doll 《紙紮》 from Bernadette Choy on Vimeo.
No English translation of the dialogue, but that just makes it all the weirder.
The website "explains" thus: "An animation film about CHUNG's afterlife journey, in search of his cause of death. Chung look back his lifetime, and travel across the 'middle-land'. In the meantime, he made friends with the Paperdolls (paper work Chinese offering figures ). This is a relaxing and humorous animation that introduces the Chinese dead's world."
