Hey friends,

It's a SPECIAL LATE EDITION! Sometimes you just forget to hit the schedule button and wander off on your own. 😅

Thinking Too Hard 🤔

Just take a look at this little guy:

He's a こびと (kobito) which very roughly translates as 'forest dwarf'. They're from a Japanese kids book by Nabata Toshitaka called Kobito Zukan (Forest Dwarf Encyclopedia) that imagines a world full of little hidden people that are responsible for all sort of mundane things from making dorians smell or eating fuzzballs in your closet.

I absolutely love how strange and specific these kobitos are. They're marvelously creative even if some of them are rather unsettling.

David McGrogan over at Monsters and Manual goes into even greater detail. Go read about it or go visit the... official..? site
