Tatsuya Tanaka might well be my favourite thing I follow on Instagram. Nearly everything he posts elicits a tiny gasp of delight when I see it. I want to say that today's burger carousel is one of the most delightful in awhile, because it is amazingly delightful, but actually, I laughed out loud at the one from just two days ago, and I don't even know who Piccolo and Gohan *are*. I just thought the cartoonish depiction of someone getting slammed into a wall and leaving a person-shaped imprint was so perfect.

These are lovely!

Although I am a little disturbed by Porco Rosso flying a plane made entirely of pork products.

Each one brings a little smile. I shared these with mrs. cenoxo (who loves miniatures). Thanks!

Those are very cool and I recognized Kumamon from John Oliver's show.
