unexpected

It's time for another excellent installment of Behind the Gifs, by the funny and talented Kat Swenski!. Kat Swenski is the artist behind KatRaccoon Comics and has helped create a form of storytelling called, 'Behind the Gifs.' Behind the gifs is a comic/gif hybrid narrative. You ever come across a gif with no context and you end up wondering, "what in the world is going on?" These comics dive into that missing context in strange and unexpected ways to help explain a gif. 

There's an entire community on Reddit, r/behindthegifs, filled with artists whose duty is to bring context to those context-less gifs and complete the mystery. 

We're huge fans of Kat Swenski 'Little Purrmaid' comic/gif hybird, if you have yet to see that adorable comic -- check it out! You can see more artwork on Instagram or on KatRacoon Comics!

Being a street performer isn't easy. Many people pass you by and if you're lucky, a few will stop to hear what've got. Being both rejected and ignored are all part of the day's work for a street performer. Just like this Malaysian busker who sang his heart out yet was being completely ignored by the people around him. Up until he caught the attention of some unexpected fans. while he sang, four small kittens appeared in front of him, sat down and just listened. They may not the target audience the musician had in mind, but they are definitely the cutest and most supportive crowd anyone could wish for.  Watch the adorable video below.

What a great story!
