Adorable, essexjan. Especially the first picture.

Many of you have already seen the photo of Evie looking irritated. Here's one where she looks a little sweeter (pardon the crap cellphone picture).

Tigger actor acquitted of fondling teen

Jury takes less than an hour
to decide case of Disney World worker

The Associated Press
Updated: 7:12 p.m. ET Aug. 4, 2004

ORLANDO, Fla. - A Walt Disney World worker who portrayed the character Tigger was acquitted Wednesday of charges he fondled a 13-year-old girl while posing for a photo with the teen and her mother.

Attorney Jeff Kaufmann, right, wears a Tigger costume
for his final arguments in the trial of Michael Chartrand...

Full story here.

Christopher Robin also came to Tigger's defence, saying the tiger was a bit randy ("It's all part of being 'bouncy bouncy bouncy'...") but never did anything more improprietous than goosing Robin's housecat Mrs Wiggles.

However, in related news, Calvin's arch-nemesis Suzie is accusing Hobbes and Tony the Tiger of improper advances in a hotel the characters stayed at for a Children's Favorite Animals convention last Spring. "It was like the U.S. Navy Tailhook Scandal," Suzie said on an episode of the Jerry Springer show, "I had to run through a gauntlet of fuzzy animals to get to my room, and they were all pawing me, just ... pawing me ... with their paws ... " she said, breaking down in tears in Springer's arms. "The whole time I was screaming, 'I'm not a furry! I'm not into this! Leave me alone!'"

Hobbes denies all allegations on the basis of "Are you kidding? I don't want her cooties!" while Tony would only make the cryptic comment "Theeeeeey're greeeeeat!"

Calvin told reporters "Suzie is just still pissed off because of the bag of dogpoo Hobbes and I set fire to on her porch. Can you believe she stomped out the flames? Whatta moron."

Tigers the world over (including Simba and Kimba) are banding together to fight what they see as a smear campaign against their kind, like this photo originally presented as evidence against Tigger:

The image turned out to be a crude photoshopping of two photo's found on the Internet, cobbled together by a weblogger and writer named Shane.

Shane could not be reached for comment, but his spokesperson Widget the Kitty told reporters "Get over it. It was just a joke. He's a total cat-lover. And the man has no time for conspiracies, he's always cleaning out five litter boxes. Besides, he's just not that smart."

Watson, the former roommate's cat, was deceptively cute. He was one of those ones who loves to lie on his back, but if you try to pet his belly, he will INFLICT BODILY HARM. He was Satan, and I loved him.

Charlie, the current roommate's cat, is more shy and only protests me rubbing her belly because I'm not scratching her head. She protests by pushing her head into my hand instead of digging her claws into my arm, so that's okay.

The lake, the sea: the tireless gloves
where nature's hand
Still holds her sceptre far above
her bastard, man
The shore where centuries of sand
through waves have raced
Invites a swim, but think where man
deposits waste
She may never sing
She may never show
But you don't know
